Four great events in one weekend at Richmond Beach May 9-11

Monday, April 14, 2014

RICHMOND BEACH CELEBRATION!

Experience four great events in one spectacular weekend! Plans are firming up for what promises to be a fun-packed weekend in Richmond Beach. Come celebrate what makes our community special – the arts, the music, the food, the natural beauty, the history and the people!

Due to limited parking at the event sites, off-site parking and shuttle service to all four events will be provided on Saturday, May 10, at Richmond Beach Congregational Church located at 1512 NW 195th. Guests are encouraged to use the shuttle to reduce impact on the neighborhood. Richmond Beach residents are encouraged to walk or carpool, if possible. Visit the webpage for details or follow the signs which will be posted.

STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL

Richmond Beach Community Association will be hosting its 15th annual Strawberry Festival at the Richmond Beach Community Park (2201 NW 197th Street) next to the library on Saturday, May 10, from noon to 5:00pm. This event is co-sponsored by the City of Shoreline and the music is supported by a Community Arts Project grant from the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council.

Here’s what you have to look forward to:

  • The sensational music line-up includes: Centerpiece Jazz Band (a “little Big Band”), Folk Voice Band (Scandinavian dance music), Seattle Women’s Jazz Orchestra (Big Band/Standards), Cliff Perry Band (Bluegrass) and Coco Loco (Latin).
  • Scrumptious food will be offered by local restaurants Full Moon Thai Cuisine, Flying Dragon Chinese Cuisine, Puerto Bonito Mexican Restaurant and Streetzeria.  And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Strawberry Festival without traditional Strawberry Shortcake served up by RBCA (freshly baked shortcake from Edmonds Bakery and fresh, juicy strawberries smothered in creamy whip cream–yum!).
In addition, there will be a walking tour of historic Richmond Beach at 1:00pm (meet in front of the library), community and business information booths, Shorewood Photography Exhibit, lots of games and activities for kids and a visit by Shoreline’s finest – the police and fire departments.

*Children’s Parade* New this year is a children’s parade for ages 8 and under. The theme is “Seahawks” and special guest Blitz, the Seahawks’ mascot, will join the parade and be available for photos with parade participants. Dress in Seahawk attire and decorate your wagon, tricycle or scooter in Seahawk colors or gear. However, feel free to be creative—all costumes and dĂ©cor are welcome. No bicycles or pets please. Staging begins at 11:15am on NW 197th Street on the north side of the park. The parade begins at 11:30am and will make two laps around the sidewalk on the perimeter of the park led by a Shorewood High School drum line and a YMCA pom team. This is not a competition and is purely for fun. All are welcome!

Questions/volunteers: Contact Sheri Ashleman 206-542-9147 or visit the webpage

Wetlands and Rain Gardens Weekend June 15-17, 10am-5pm

The Kruckeberg Botanic Garden's first-ever Wetlands and Rain Gardens Weekend is coming up June 15-17, 2012. The MsK Nursery will mark down prices on many plants ideal for stream edges, rain gardens, and other moist spots. The Nursery features over 100 species that can thrive in a rain garden or other moist habitat.

Want to learn more about rain gardens? We’ll also have an informational table with a professional on hand to answer your questions and help you get started on adding a rain garden to your landscape.

Don’t miss these free wetland-themed events over the weekend:

Bog-In-A-Bucket Seminar 
Learn how to make a unique wetland container garden to place in the ground or use as a stand-alone container. If you want to make your own, bring along a washtub or other container, purchase plants from the Nursery, and staff will help you plant your own bog-in-a-bucket to bring home. 
Saturday, June 16, 1-2pm.

Wetland Plants Tour 
Though there is not a wetland, rain garden, or stream in the KBG, it is home to many adaptable species that like these habitats but can also thrive in more typical garden conditions. The KBG is also home to several 'bog' gardens in sunken sinks, as well as several bog-in-a-bucket container gardens. Learn about the unique attributes of wetland plants found in the KBG, and get some tips about how you can use them in your own landscape.
During our garden tour on Sunday, June 17 from 1-2pm.

If you would like to attend either the seminar or the tour, email or call 206-546-1281.

  • May 11, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.: Plant sale open to the public.

Local nurserywoman Mareen Kruckeberg first opened her private garden and nursery for a small plant sale on Mother’s Day weekend in 1987. Twenty-five years later, the annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale and Open House carries on as a historic, yet thriving community tradition at Shoreline’s Kruckeberg Botanic Garden.

The MsK Rare and Native Plant Nursery that Mareen founded continues the tradition with a family-friendly event on May 11-13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In 2012, local plant sales on Mother’s Day weekend abound, but that was not true 25 years ago. Don’t miss the original! The plant sale will feature hundreds of species, many hard-to-find, of native plants and unusual exotics that are well suited for Northwest gardens. Free family activities and garden tours will also be offered. 

Mareen, who passed away in 2003, specialized in a wide selection of plants that were rarely available in nurseries at the time. She loved to make interesting plants available to Northwest gardeners. The annual Mother’s Day Sale quickly became a favorite community event, particularly for plant enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

In the years since it began, the Mother’s Day Sale has transitioned from a small open house at a private garden to a large fundraising event for a public botanic garden. The Nursery is located within the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden, which was purchased from the Kruckeberg family by the City of Shoreline in 2008. All sale proceeds now support the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Foundation, a nonprofit organization that operates the Garden in cooperation with the City. The Mother’s Day Sale is the Foundation’s largest fundraising event. Members of the Foundation are invited to shop early at the member’s only pre-sale event on May 10 from 3 pm to 7 pm. New members are welcome.

As a mother herself, Mareen enjoyed children and often sent them home from the sale with a free violet. The tradition continues at the Sale’s popular Sprout Spot, where families with young children can get their hands dirty with free educational activities, chose a plant to take home, and make a gift for Mom. The Foundation will also offer free garden tours on May 12 and 13. These tours will introduce visitors to the Garden’s highlights and help them to spot the not-to-miss plant specimens.

For more information, contact Sarah Baker at 206-546-1281 ext.5. The Garden and Nursery are located at 20312 15th Ave NW, Shoreline, WA. Regular open hours are Friday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Bleeding Heart - on sale!
Photo by Roseann Barnhill.
Kruckeberg Botanic Garden, Spring Ephemeral Plant Sale, July 16 and 17, 2011, 10am-5pm

It is now summer and the spring ephemeral species in the Garden’s MsK Rare and Native Plant Nursery are going dormant. Many of these species don’t thrive in nursery pots over the cold, wet winter. However, they do great if they are planted so we would love for them to go to good homes.

For one weekend only we’re putting them on sale.

Enjoy 50%-off prices on ephemeral natives like corydalis, coltsfoot, bleeding heart, and spring bulbs. We’ll also mark down exotics like cyclamen, anemones, and more. Come by and take some of these great flowering plants home! They don’t look great now but your garden will thank you next spring, we promise.

The Garden is located at 20312 15th Ave NW, Shoreline. For more information call 206-546-1281 or email
