Summary
It’s the final full week of the year.
As we take a little holiday break to recharge this week, we’re revisiting some of our favorite episodes of 2024, starting with a trip back to Shoreline.
There, volunteers are reclaiming a derelict property to turn into the Ching Community Garden.
Back when Patricia Murphy first visited in April, volunteers were out on weekends restoring the rich soil.
They had to uproot blackberry bushes to reveal lilies and a hidden koi fish pond with a bridge.
Now, months later, the effort continues - and keeps recruiting volunteers - with big plans to finally demolish the old house on the property in early 2025.
Let's take a trip to the rediscovered gem of a garden near Shoreline Community College.
