Looks like we're going to see lows in 20's over the next few days. Time to make sure your plants are protected. Read our blog post, Cold Protection for Your Garden Plants, then let us know if you have any questions!
One pro tip: WATER BEFORE THE FREEZE
If a hard freeze is forecast a few days in advance, and if it hasn’t been raining much, water your plants before the freeze. A streak of sunny, dry, cold days with a daily freeze/thaw cycle can hinder plants’ water uptake, causing dehydration and more winter damage.

Here are some quick tips for protecting your less-hardy plants from cold damage.

We are passionate about making sure that kids in our community have access to healthy, nutritious food. All donations will support the Weekend Food For Kids program at

The Weekend Food for Kids program provides a weekend’s worth of easy-to-prepare, nutritious food to any child who identifies as needing the resource. While at school, children receive as much as half of their daily calories - Weekend Food For Kids works to bridge the nutrition gap for students outside of school. Ballard Food Bank makes sure that 640 students receive food across 21 schools in Northwest Seattle.

Participation in Weekend Food for Kids is confidential. School staff, teachers, and family members identify students who would benefit from weekend meals. Students are also welcome to sign up on their own. Each week, the Food Bank packs bags with 3 dinners, 2 lunches, 2 breakfasts, and snacks including fresh produce. School personnel and volunteers then discreetly distribute the bags to students on Thursdays or Fridays.

Please make a gift today to help make sure children and families have the food and support they need! Ballard Food Bank is there for those who need it with the help of caring people like you.
