WEST AFRICAN COMMUNITY GARDEN
DO YOU NEED A GARDEN BED TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD?
JOIN THE WEST AFRICAN COMMUNITY GARDEN!
The Washington West African Center (WAWAC) is proud to partner with Grace Lutheran Church in Mukilteo to launch the West African Community Garden for the 2025–2026 growing season—and YOU can be part of it!
Imagine having your own space to grow fresh, healthy food of your choice right here in our community. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just getting started, this is your chance to claim a garden bed and grow the crops you love.
This garden is more than just plants—it’s about reclaiming tradition, promoting wellness, and building community. Whether you’re a seasoned elder who misses farming back home, a newly arrived migrant ready to learn, or a youth eager to get your hands dirty—we’ve got a garden bed waiting for you!
Why Join?
• Stay active and healthy
• Grow the foods you love and miss
• Learn traditional West African gardening & cooking
• Support food security in our community
• Pass down cultural knowledge to the next generation
We’ll also provide culturally relevant seeds and tools for free—or you can bring your own. This initiative also supports the LUMO West African Food Distribution, which feeds 100 families every two weeks!
Spots are limited—sign up today and let’s grow together!
