Restoring a Legacy: Breathing New Life into an Alderton Landmark
From 1984 to 2022, a local woman poured her heart and soul into a beautiful farm nestled in Alderton, Washington. Her dedication brought forth vibrant dahlias, fresh vegetables, and a garden that became a community treasure. Her iconic flower stand was not only a source of beauty but also a beacon of generosity, as she often donated the proceeds to local charities. This farm and its flower stand became a cherished part of the Alderton-Puyallup area, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who visited.
As stewards of this remarkable legacy, we are embarking on an exciting journey to restore the farm to its original glory. Our goal is to revive its lush gardens, bring back the beloved flower stand, and once again make this space a source of joy, community, and giving.
A Vision for Restoration
Our vision is clear: to bring life back to this farm and reestablish its role as a community hub. We aim to plant vibrant blooms, cultivate fresh produce, and rebuild the flower stand that was once a local landmark. In doing so, we hope to honor the spirit of generosity and community that defined the farm’s past.
To achieve this, we need your help. Reviving a farm is no small feat, and it will take a collective effort to bring this vision to life. We are seeking donations of flowers, gardening tools, and other resources to help us on this journey. Every contribution—big or small—will make a meaningful difference.
How You Can Help
Here are some ways you can support our restoration efforts:
- Donate Gardening Tools and Supplies: Shovels, gloves, seeds, and other gardening essentials will help us prepare the soil and start planting.
- Share Flowers or Seeds: If you have dahlia bulbs or other flowers to share, they will play a key role in restoring the garden’s beauty.
- Spread the Word: Share our story with your friends and family to help us gather the support we need.
Our Goal: March 1, 2025
We aim to have the farm ready for planting and blooming by March 1, 2025. This timeline will allow us to prepare the soil, gather resources, and begin the process of bringing the gardens back to life in time for spring.
