COMPOST 2026

The SUUF children will be on a journey this spring to harvest the first batch of SUUF compost and create a small herb garden just outside of the Fellowship Hall side exit. All activities will occur during the normal CRE (Children’s Religious Education) service time 10:30-11:30, coordinated by Meriel Kaminsky, and supported by the Social Justice Committee. Dress to engage with soil and compost! Garden gloves could also be handy!

CRE Activity Schedule:

June 7th Plant Herbs
June 14th Ceremony of Thanks

HOW ALL SUUF MEMBERS AND FRIENDS
CAN SUPPORT THE CHILDREN’S HERB GARDEN:

All SUUF members and friends are encouraged to support the children and the herb garden.

GIFT A ROCK: From May 10th to June 7th, ALL SUUF members and friends are welcomed and encouraged to bring ONE ROCK (between 3” to 8”) for the children to create a garden border. Please leave your ONE ROCK under the front entry bushes.

PARTICIPATE IN AN HERB EXCHANGE: On June 7th, a table will be set up outside for an herb exchange. These can be plants, crafts, teas, etc. Leave what you can; take what you need. The children will be planting rosemary, lavender, thyme and then a fourth herb of their choosing from the herb exchange table.

DONATE GARDEN DECORATIONS: Please contact Rebecca Spurling (360) 333-4261 if you are interested in donating a garden decoration. The decorations will be used on June 14th as part of a Ceremony of Thanks, to honor the herbs, and to thank the sun, soil, rain and air (along with the humans), that will care for the herbs.
