Come join us on Sunday, October 2nd, 2022 for the Washington CeaseFire 5k Run / Walk!
We are very excited to have this year's event at beautiful Green Lake Park in Seattle! It's more important than ever for individuals and families to show support for, and solidarity with, the growing grassroots movement to make our communities and schools safer.
We will follow the 5k event with our annual Day of Remembrance ceremony, where we plant daffodil bulbs (donated by Sunnyside Nursery) in commemoration of victims of gun violence. (NOTE: Register early to guarantee T-Shirt availability)
Since 1983, Washington Ceasefire, a nonprofit organization, has been working towards implementing reasonable solutions to reduce the toll of gun violence in Washington State. Net proceeds from the run/walk will be used to support initiatives, programs, and policies dedicated to reducing gun violence.
As this glorious PNW summer weather continues, let us continue delving into the world of Hydrangeas. It is time for episode three, the grand finale of the Hydrangea trilogy… at least for the year 2025. In the last couple of weeks we have talked Hydrangeas for partial shade (Big-Leaf or Hydrangea macrophylla cvs) and others for a bit more sun like Oakleaf types (Hydrangea quercifolia cvs) and Smooth types (Hydrangea arborescens cvs). Now we get to talk about one of the most useful species for sunny gardens, Hydrangea paniculata, or what we call Panicle Hydrangeas…
