The 2024 growing season isn’t quite over yet, and we’re already thinking about next year! Farm Manager Ansley and her team met today to map out what they plan to grow in each field in 2025. Brassicas, Cucurbits and Alliums, oh my! We’ll have U-Pick flowers and pumpkins, too. Crop planning is like a jigsaw puzzle, as we envision how best to rotate crops to improve soil health and better steward the land.

A Wild Clay Workshop and opening celebration were

A Wild Clay Workshop and opening celebration were held last Saturday to mark the recent installation of a 4Culture public art project, “Atmospheric River Garden” by artist Vaughn Bell, on the 21 Acres farm.

Watch to the end to see Bell’s art. Colorful ceramic pieces are incorporated throughout the artist-designed rain garden to draw attention to the journey of water from sky to earth.

A year ago, Bell dug up clay at 21 Acres, cleaned and blended it with water into a slurry, sifted it through a sieve, poured it into trays, let water evaporate from the slurry over several weeks, and eventually mixed and wedged it into malleable material. The participants at Saturday’s workshop molded the wild clay into pollinator water cups that will be fired and placed in the new garden.

“Atmospheric River Garden” is a collaboration of people, plants, and land. Bell, her father Tim Bell, King County 4Culture staff, the King County RainScapes program, 21 Acres staff, wild clay, rich soil, a variety of plants, Dirt Corps gardeners, and others worked together over several years on this creation.

We invite you to stop by 21 Acres to walk the farm and wetlands and take in this project. “By cleaning the water, the rain garden improves the health of humans and many other species,” Bell writes. “It also creates joy by adding beauty to the environment.”
