City Fruit
City Fruit works neighborhood by neighborhood to help residential tree owners grow healthy fruit, to harvest and use what they can, and to share what they don’t need. City Fruit collaborates with others involved in local food production, climate protection, horticulture, food security and community-building to protect and optimize urban fruit trees.
City Fruit is in the process of becoming a non-profit corporation with a 501(c)(3) tax exemption. It is supported by donations, memberships, sales and grants.
Beginning in 2010 City Fruit will not only steward the fruit trees at Bradner Gardens Park but will also offer workshops to the public in fruit tree maintenance. The Friends of Bradner Gardens Park Board is very excited to welcome them as a new Park Partner.
Mt. Baker Community Club
The Mount Baker Community Club (MBCC) is a self supported neighborhood club and clubhouse since its inception in 1909. It is a mostly volunteer organization that relies on the active involvement of its members to accomplish the many community undertakings that make this such a great neighborhood to live in and to be a part of. The MBCC is a 501(c)(3) and serves as the umbrella organization for the Friends of Bradner Gardens Park.
