Mountain Community Co-op

04/28/2026

Come and join Community Roots as we team up with the amazing Mountain Community Garden in Eatonville.

Come join us for a beautiful day at the Mountain Community Garden in Eatonville on Saturday May 9th, 2026 at 12 pm at 113 Rainier Ave N, Eatonville, WA. There is parking at the garden as well as parking at the visitor center in town.

Have you ever experienced our little hometown community garden? It’s truly a special little spot that’s dedicated to giving back to the community through learning experiences, hosting spaces for gardeners who need a place to cultivate crops, provide habitat for pollinators, as well as donate HUNDREDS of pounds of produce to our local food bank.

Whether you’re a novice or experienced gardener (OR if you just love having great experiences with great people in the beloved sunshine), you’re invited to this family event where we will be offering a variety of experiences including:
-A Welcome and History of the garden with Master Gardener and one of the Garden Coordinators Barbara Samora
-A Pollinator Chat with Dakota Vogel (Leader of Community Roots)
-Seed planting demonstration
-A Scavenger Hunt for the kids
-Seed/Plant Swap and Giveaway
-A Potluck in true, Community Roots gathering spirit!

As well as an opportunity to work to “Wake Up” the Spring Garden and prepare for a busy season ahead with some work party activities as we KNOW the Roots group isn’t afraid to get in there and get their hands dirty!

Please bring close-toed shoes, clothes to work in, and a potluck item. If you have any plants or seeds you’d like to gift, please bring. We will have waivers on site to sign prior to activities.

If you do have additional tools such as Rakes, Hand Trowels, 5 Gallon Buckets with handles, please bring these items and label them so they can make it back to you in case the garden doesn’t have quite enough tools for the volunteers.

Come support our Mountain Community Garden at the annual Garden Festival this year!

Our Annual Garden Festival, compliments of Mill Haus Cider Co. and our Garden members, will be held on May 16 this year which will be close to the time you should be starting your summer gardens. Join us for several educational workshops (Unbeatable Plants for the Maritime Northwest, Successfully Growing Tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest, Seed Saving, and Water Conservation in the Garden using Drip Irrigation). We will also have a Seed Swap and seed planting booth.

The WSU Pierce County Master Gardeners will also return with their Plant Clinic so bring your plant and garden related questions or issues to help you improve your garden success. A variety of vendors selling plant related goods, including plant starts, will be there to share their products. We will have a raffle for two baskets full of garden related items. We hope to see you there!

Fresh Produce in the Store this week!

03/22/2026

It’s time to plant some seeds! If you grow your own warm season vegetables like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, start them now inside using grow lights. If you haven’t already, start your broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc. inside as well. If you need to purchase seeds, we have you covered. The Mountain Community Garden’s seed fundraiser begins now. All proceeds go towards supporting the food bank beds.

We are sad to report that Uprising Seeds is unable to sell to us again but we now offer organically grown, heirloom and open pollinated seeds from High Mowing Seeds.
Visit the Store to see the great selection.
