Holiday Fundraisers

At West Seattle Nursery, we’re dedicated to growing more than just plants, we’re growing community connections! This season, we’re proud to support two incredible local organizations: Solid Ground and West Seattle Food Bank.

Join us in making a difference by contributing to these vital causes. Whether you’re donating funds to food access and education, or providing food for neighbors in need, every effort helps strengthen our community. Learn more about these initiatives below and how you can get involved!

Solid Grounds Fundraiser

From now until Christmas, we are raising money for Solid Ground. For over 50 years, this organization has worked toward ending poverty through:

  • Advocacy

  • Food Access & Education

  • Housing and Homeless Prevention

  • Race & Social Justice

  • Resource Connections

  • Transportation

Read about their remarkable history

As gardeners, we are particularly interested in the work they are doing at the Marra Farm Giving Garden. They began this 3/4 acre garden in 1997. In 2024, they supplied more than 5,000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks and meal programs. We imagine that the total was much more this year because they just installed a drip irrigation system last year.

Please consider making a donation to Solid Ground when you shop between now and Christmas. We will submit our donation before December 31, so it can be doubled by an anonymous donor!
