Master Gardeners: A Gentle Invitation to Begin Again

Master Gardener Foundation
Before anything grows, before a single seed is tucked into the soil, there’s a sense of possibility in the air — a feeling that this small patch of earth could become something beautiful.
Life often feels the same way.
It’s always wise to confirm current hours and details online before you head out.

As you press seeds into the earth, you’re doing more than beginning a garden. You’re giving yourself a reason to step outside, breathe fresh air, and move your body in a way that feels grounding.

We’re handed moments, seasons, and opportunities that invite us to begin again, to stretch, to root, to bloom.
Imagine standing at the edge of your garden-to-be. The soil is cool and dark, waiting for your hands. Maybe you already know what you want to plant — tomatoes warm from the sun, herbs that release their scent with the slightest touch, flowers that open like little celebrations.

Or maybe you’re simply curious, ready to see what might happen if you give yourself permission to try.
That’s the quiet invitation gardening offers: start where you are, with what you have, and see what grows.

As you press seeds into the earth, you’re doing more than beginning a garden. You’re giving yourself a reason to step outside, breathe fresh air, and move your body in a way that feels grounding.
You’re creating a space that asks nothing of you except presence — a few minutes of watering, a moment to check on new sprouts, a pause to appreciate how much can change in a week.
And those early sprouts? They’re a reminder that growth doesn’t need to be rushed. Seedlings take their time. They lean toward the sun, strengthen slowly, and surprise you when you least expect it. There’s
comfort in that rhythm. It’s a gentle nudge to be patient with yourself, too.
Of course, every garden has its challenges. Weeds appear, sometimes overnight, and you find yourself kneeling in the dirt, pulling them up one by one.

But even this can feel strangely satisfying. Clearing space around your plants gives them room to breathe and thrive. It’s a small act of care that makes a big difference — and it mirrors the way we sometimes need to clear space in our own lives, letting go of what no longer supports us.
Then come the seasons. Spring’s excitement, summer’s abundance, autumn’s quiet harvest, winter’s rest.
Then come the seasons. Spring’s excitement, summer’s abundance, autumn’s quiet harvest, winter’s rest.
A garden teaches you to move with these cycles instead of against them. Some days are for planting, others for pruning, and some are simply for sitting back and enjoying what you’ve created. There’s no rush, no pressure, no perfect way to do it. Just the steady rhythm of tending and noticing.
And that’s the heart of gardening — not perfection, but participation.
When you plan your garden, you’re really planning moments of joy for your future self. The scent of basil on your fingers. The first ripe strawberry. The sound of bees drifting lazily from bloom to bloom. The
satisfaction of a meal made with something you grew. These small pleasures add up, reminding you that life’s beauty often comes from the simplest places.
So consider this your invitation. Step outside. Feel the sun on your shoulders. Turn over a patch of soil and imagine what it could become.

Whether you plant a single pot on a balcony or transform your whole backyard, you’re creating more than a garden — you’re creating space for yourself to breathe, to move, to hope, and to enjoy the world a little more.
Gardening doesn’t demand expertise. It asks only for curiosity, a bit of patience, and a willingness to get your hands dirty. And in return, it offers fresh air, gentle exercise, a sense of accomplishment, and
the quiet joy of watching something grow because you cared for it.
This season, let your garden — whatever shape it takes — be a reminder that life is full of beginnings. All you have to do is plant the first seed.

Shoreline City Council to hold public hearing on March 30 regarding removal of restrictive covenants on City-owned property located at 18351 10th Avenue NE
The property is currently, and will continue to be, used for surface water management in the area.
The restrictive covenants were placed on the City’s Parcel, along with 29 other parcels, by Evergreen Homes in 1947 as part of their development of the area. A local realtor is requesting all 26 property owners to agree to the removal of the restrictive covenants.
The purpose of the public hearing is to give people an opportunity to provide input on whether the City Council should agree to the removal of the restrictive covenant on the City’s Parcel.
- The first restrictive covenant that the realtor seeks to remove limits development on the properties to single residences. This restrictive covenant is contrary to the MUR-70 zoning for the area. If 75% of the property owners agree to remove the covenant, it will be removed. The properties could then be consolidated for development under the City’s MUR-70 zoning.
- The second restrictive covenant the realtor is seeking to have removed is the racially restrictive covenant. While this covenant has been legally unenforceable under federal and state law since 1948, this action will remove it permanently from the list of restrictive covenants found on the property deeds.

Four Lake Forest Park organizations received awards from a newly created climate and environment fund, part of the King County Parks Levy that voters passed in August 2025.
The Lake Forest Park Stewardship Foundation received an award through the County WaterWorks program to study the chemical and biological health of tributaries of Lyon and McAleer Creeks. This initiative is overseen by Shoreline College instructor and LFP resident Brian Saunders.
The LFP Climate Hub at Town Center received a grant to develop an interactive video display for the Climate Hub. The Hub is the brainchild of UW Bothell instructor and LFP resident Dana Campbell.
Trout Unlimited received a grant to study salmon populations in McAleer and Lyon Creeks. This project is spearheaded by UW Bothell professor and LFP resident Jeff Jensen.
Finally, the fund is helping pay for the cleanup and renovation of Blue Heron Park, led by Master Gardener and LFP resident Linda Holman. The goal of the project, says Holman, is to focus on native plant species and pollinators and to create a “demonstration garden for public education and enjoyment.”

Op-Ed: My Pre-Obituary: A Shoreline Single Mom Waiting to Be Hit
 |
| Stay on the paths at the Park at Town Center in Shoreline |
I grew up here. I have lived in Shoreline since 1997. I am 32 years old, a single mother, and a college student. I have watched this city change for decades. So I am asking a direct question: do you care about reporting on the everyday safety issues residents are actually facing?
There is a patch of grass by the Shoreline Police Station, the one decorated with trolley lights during Christmas. It is consistently covered in dog waste.
There is enough dog shit you can make a board game out of it. If you step off that path, there’s a 10 out of 10 chance that you will run into dog shit every 6 inches. This is not just unpleasant. It is a public health issue. Dog feces carry bacteria and parasites that contaminate soil and stormwater runoff. It affects children, other animals, and our shared water system. This is basic civic responsibility and it is being ignored.

| In 2018 a 20 year old pedestrian was struck and pinned by this vehicle. He survived but with serious injuries. Photo courtesy Shoreline Fire |
Since my car broke down, I have relied on walking and public transportation. Every single time I leave my home or step outside my door, I am almost hit at least once if I do not actively avoid being hit.
I am following the rules as a pedestrian. In just the last few weeks, I have had to actively jump back to avoid being struck. My children have nearly been hit.
This is happening on 175th, 185th, in residential neighborhoods, and in community parking lots.
It happens when crosswalk signals are illuminated. It happens when we are visibly crossing. It happens when drivers simply choose speed over human life.
There has not been a single walk where I have not had to avoid a moving vehicle.
This is not hyperbole. This is daily reality.
If a resident is struck and killed, it will be framed as a tragedy. But what about the pattern leading up to it? What about the dozens of close calls? What about the families who live in a constant state of vigilance because drivers refuse to yield?
I raised concerns about expired tabs years ago. At the time, it was dismissed. Now it is newsworthy. So again, what qualifies as important enough to report? Does someone have to die first?
If you conducted a poll of pedestrians in Shoreline, I suspect many would report similar experiences. The issue is widespread and visible.
Pedestrians have the legal right of way in crosswalks. That is not optional. It is law. More importantly, it is basic human decency.
My life has value. My children’s lives have value. The lives of people walking in the cold, using public transportation, or crossing parking lots have value. Convenience does not outweigh that.
I am asking you to report on pedestrian safety enforcement, traffic patterns on 175th and 185th, crosswalk compliance, and the broader culture of disregard toward people who are not inside a vehicle.
This is not about being politically correct. It is about whether everyday residents matter enough to be heard before a preventable death makes headlines.
Respectfully,
A lifelong Shoreline resident
