Growing library garden programs

WebJunction / 01 May 2024

"Library gardens offer a great way for community members to come together to learn, grow, and contribute towards a healthy, balanced environment. And creating a vibrant community green space or gardening program doesn’t have to be complicated. Across the country—and beyond—libraries are growing gardening programs in their own unique ways. As you explore some of the gardens and programs here, you’ll notice that community partnerships represent a common thread running throughout all of the programs. Local businesses, master gardening groups, arts organizations, and community government can all play important roles in growing a successful library garden program."

#Trump DOJ targets #AntiICE #activists in #SpokaneWA

by Garrett Owen
Wed, July 16, 2025

"Federal prosecutors are accusing nine people in Spokane, Washington, of violence against federal agents in the wake of an anti-ICE mass demonstration in June.

"On Tuesday, #FBI agents began arresting people involved in the protest, following a grand jury indictment on July 9, as reported by The Spokesman-Review. Among those detained was former Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart, who was charged with engaging in conspiracy to impede or injure law enforcement.

"The eight others face similar charges, though two are also charged with assault on a federal officer, per the Department of Justice.

"The move by the Trump administration has drawn criticism from local and national leaders. U.S. Senator Patty Murray, D-Wash., called the arrests a 'gross abuse of federal resources' and a 'disturbing perversion of justice.'

"Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown referred to the DOJ’s actions as a 'politically motivated action.'

" 'The Trump Administration’s #weaponization of #ICE and the #DOJ is trampling on the #USConstitution and creating widespread fear across our community,' Brown said in a statement Tuesday.

"The mass demonstration on June 11 was in response to the detention of two young asylum seekers in Spokane by ICE who were present in the U.S. legally. Stuckart posted a call to action on social media, creating a large protest which swelled to hundreds in the streets of Spokane and led to Stuckart’s arrest for blocking an ICE vehicle.

"Among those arrested on Tuesday was #BajunMavalwallaII, who allegedly blocked a driveway when federal agents tried to leave the area. He was arrested early in the morning while staying at the home of his father, #BajunMavalwalla Sr.

" 'I demanded a warrant, they refused and wouldn’t show it until everyone left the home. My son was protesting on June 11, they said he assaulted officers,' Mavalwalla Sr. said. 'My son worked in cybersecurity and was deployed to Afghanistan. He has no problems with the law.'

" 'This is a scare tactic,' Mavawalla Sr. said. 'This is what they’re doing now.' "

Hello winter...❄️🥶 #spokanewa #winter #pnw #snow #weather

So I NEVER bake. And I very rarely make sweet foods because I vastly prefer savory foods. But I got a bookmark with a recipe for sugar cookies from the Campbell House at the Museum of Arts and Culture earlier this month so obviously I had to try it out, right? Now what am I gonna do with three dozen cookies? 😂 #sugarcookies #cooking #Spokane #SpokaneWA #PNW #baking #cookies #holidaze

Does #spokane have a dependable soccer bar (hopefully downtown) for a visitor to watch the #usmnt tomorrow? #mastodonfc #spokanewa

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1831:
"We remained here #BoatEncampment till the 10th, when Mr. Heron, Chief Trader, made his appearance from Fort Colvile with two boats. Then ordering back the horses to Klyne's House #Jasper we embarked on the far famed Columbia, which runs here with tremendous velocity. We reached Fort Colvile, Mr. Heron's headquarters, in about four days. The Fort is most delightfully situated in a a beautiful plain surrounded by high lands.. #HBC #History #SpokaneWA #WAHistory
