Meeting 1-October 9th 1:30-4:30 (3 hours)

Met with sayuyah sister garden group and went to visit the garden at Skokomish.  We used this time to accustom ourselves to the plants and beds that were there. We each assigned ourselves to a bed to research the herbs.  We discussed our plans and took some time to reflect on the mood there.
