etween two quiet dead-end streets bordering a wooded ravine just six blocks from the Westside Olympia Food Coop are three acres of land. By late April, Woodard Lane Cohousing’s members will move into their new community. This is a long time dream coming true for a group of committed people who have put an enormous amount of time and energy into the design and planning of Woodard Lane Cohousing. This will be Olympia’s first cohousing community to reach completion. The idea of cohousing began in Denmark and was brought to the US in the early 1980s. Many such communities are popping up around the country as people look for ways to live more lightly on the earth and in closer connection with others. There are now at least 18 cohousing communities in the state of Washington. Cohousing is a type of collaborative housing in which residents actively and consciously participate in the design and operation of their own neighborhoods. The physical design encourages both social contact and individual space. Private homes contain all the features of conventional homes,

but residents also have access to extensive common facilities such as open space, courtyards, gardens, a play structure and a common house. Some of the benefits of living this way are the many opportunities for social interactions, shared meals several times a week, lots of playmates for kids and support for parents. Certain things like a shop and tools, lawnmower and a sauna can be shared. Someone will watch your kids when needed, take care of your pets when you’re away and you are likely to encounter a smiling face on a day that you might really appreciate it. Decisions are made in a non-hierarchical manner, usually by consensus. At Woodard Lane, one of their members is a certified NVC trainer, and they are conscious about using that model in their interactions. (NVC is the method taught by Marshall Rosenburg, sometimes called Compassionate Communication.) Their homes are built green, with an emphasis on providing optimal natural light and connection with nature. They have solar panels for hot water, radiant floor heating, a small footprint and efficient design in order to minimize energy costs. Scott Bergford, the builder, is Built Green certified and uses non toxic materials whenever possible. He recently received the Energy Value Housing Award for “Builder of the Year.” The homes are clustered around a central common area of green space, with a large common house with a community kitchen and dining area, a play area for children, a laundry room and a guest room. The grounds will be taken care of by everyone, and a large vegetable garden and chickens will be shared projects. At the end of April, Phase One will be complete. This includes three 4-plexes which will house eleven families, leaving one unit for the temporary common house, a shop and six carports. When they have enough interested families, they will begin Phase Two. At completion, there will be a total of 19 to 21 units plus the large common house. Although their current nine households span four generations and include two families with small children, they are particularly seeking more families with children. TCG

of The Importance

Early Learning

he early years lay the foundation for a child’s physical, social, and emotional well-being and set the stage for school readiness and lifelong learning. During the first five years, the brain develops some 85 percent of its core structure and the connections that enable a child to learn and develop skills they will need in school and throughout life. The experiences and relationships that children experience in those five years really set the stage for all future learning. “It isn’t just about a bunch of flash cards and fancy toys. Early learning is about nurturing relationships and stimulating environments during these important years and being socially, emotionally and cognitively prepared for school,” Julee Durham of United Way of Thurston County explains.

Since 2002, United Way of Thurston County (UWTC) has made a commitment to help educate parents, caregivers and educators on the importance of early learning. “One of the first things we did was bring the community together to look at what the needs of the children and familes are in Thurston County and started the Thurston Early Childhood Coalition. The coalition has met monthly for years and in partnership with UWTC, we have raised over 1 million dollars to support programs in the community,” explains Julee. One such program has been a great success. The Born Learning Program helps families turn everyday opportunities into learning moments. “It doesn’t have to be a special school or program, but rather the opportunity to point out moments that cause children to look, think, wonder and question the world around them,” continues Julee. Over the last few years, United Way has produced a Kindergarten Readiness calendar for families in Thurston County. It provides simple ideas that parents, grandparents and caregivers can do at home to help the four year old prepare for school. The activities are simple, fun and free. And most recently, they have recruited business leaders and parents who speak in the community about the importance of early learning. These champions are building community awareness of how significant the early years are for our children. “Our efforts are to increase everybody’s understanding of the early years are,” says Julee. On April 10, The United Way of Thurston County is doing their 2nd Annual Kickoff Event for Week of The Young Child. The event will be held at Westfield Capital Mall. There will be 11 participating agencies that will be providing hands-on activities for children and their families. The event is centered around the Block Fest, a program of the Thurston Early Childhood Coalition. The event is free and there is fun for all ages. TCG

he sound of water falling, the tranquility of a forest, the serenity of a mountain retreat. Sounds expensive and untouchable in today’s busy world. Tucked away in Lakewood, there is a unique spa that brings together the healing techniques of Korean and Western society. Catering to women only, it is a wonderful place to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with mind, body and spirit. Built in 1997 by Mr. Lee, the facility reflects the traditional Korean spa services. After great success, in 2005 Mr. Lee expanded to Lynwood, providing women in the north sound the same unique services. “You get addicted to the velvety Mr. Lee built soft way your skin will feel for the facility for weeks after.

There are five pools that are different temperatures, ranging from 60 to 102 degrees. You can jump from pool to pool to stimulate the body. In addition to the baths, they have a pool of mugwort herbal tea that can be poured over your body to improve circulation and soften your skin.

Planning a Backyard 15 Landscape Mistakes

s winter passes and my yard springs to life, I am desperate for a makeover for For Detailed Info visit our website at www.communityguideonline.com my stale and UGLY backyard. I am a loyal watcher of HGTV and DIY By Michele McGehee Network and on weekend mornings, I sit in my pajamas and watch as the professionals transform those dreary backyards to beautiful outdoor living spaces. As I sip my warm tea, I comment to my husband, “It doesn’t look that hard. We can do it.” Famous last words and easier said than done. From all the books I have read and the expert advice I have Lawn been given over the years, I have Ornament learned that planning is the key Overkill to success. The starting point in the design plan was to answer one basic question—what is your landscape goal? Some ideas to consider are: Who is it for? How much time can I dedicate to upkeep? How big is my space? Does it need to accommodate pets? Do I like the idea of a formal landscape or is casual more my style? Improper Maybe I would like all the above—and this can be accomplished—with the Plant Locations proper planning. My husband and I discussed our needs and wishes for our redesigned backyard. We wanted to include raised garden beds, a little grass for the dog and grandkids, flower gardens, a small seating area and a fire pit for those weekends when we cannot escape to our favorite camping spot. With graph paper and clipboard in hand, we started measuring, drawing and playing with ideas. Scalping On graph paper, we outlined the Lawn the dimensions of the landscape area and designated directions

n g i s e Red Picking the wrong Plants

such as north, south, etc. We indicated the positions of our house, walkways, patios, decks, fences, septic and outbuildings. Then we used a symbol such as circles to represent large trees and/or shrubs. Anything that is physically established, we made sure to include on our drawing. We illuminated full Thinking animals sun or full shade areas and won’t bother noted the morning, midday, your landscape afternoon and part shade/sun areas. It took over eight designs to get exactly what we were looking for. We are definitely not expert landscapers, so the drawing was a bit rough, but it provided a good starting point. Once the design was final, we started working in phases. The first phase was removing everything we did not want to Pruning keep. We took out the unwanted Willy-nilly sod and pulled out some old bushes that were not going to be

plants and trees we are interested in Failing incorporating into the design and made To Budget a list of questions that we would like to ask. It took a couple of trips and lots of questions, but we have a plan that we are very excited about. Again, with our plan, we can buy throughout the seasons and when fall comes around, we can wait for closeout sales. We do not always want to buy our plants at once. This allows us One Season to have the opportunity to see Landscape how our garden looks during the growing season and can then look forward to another trip to the nursery! We have learned so much throughout our project. The budget is an eye opener. We started with a very tight budget and are holding true to that. We made Forgetting the product decisions based on costs and yes, we really wanted a slate Day-To-Night patio, but it just was not in the Transition cards. We found used bricks on the internet, dug them up ourselves and saved a nice $200. Now our patio already has that established look and feel that we had envisioned. Be creative and looked for recycled materials; it can allow your budget to broaden your results. There is a lot of information to gather for a landscape project, No with planning and plant Roadmap but research, your landscape will be easier and more fun to manage. Enjoy the process. As they say, it is the not the destination that counts, but the journey. And most of all have fun! TCG

included in the new landscape plan. We then staked out our new walkway, raised garden beds and flower beds that will frame the yard. The marker paint is a great tool for landscapers. At one point, I had orange marks all over the backyard! It washes away and you have a clean slate to make any adjustments you might want to incorporate Forgetting into your design! The Family With any project, patience is a virtue. On television, they finish a yard in 30 minutes. But in reality, they have a crew of 10 to 15 people and work 10-12 hours for two to three days. So keep this in mind when you are doing your project. Everything, I mean everything, takes more time you expect. Getting the right tools Failing To than and materials is a must to make the job Be Safe easier. And if you can find a friend or relative to help, more power to you. If not, you can also look into hiring help for those projects that might be a bit more challenging than your own skills will allow. My husband and I are currently finalizing the basic layout of our project. The stairs are complete, the raised garden beds are Grab ready for spring planting and the And Go new walkway and fire pit area are established. Now the fun begins. It is time for us to visit local nurseries and discuss our designs with these experts. When we visit the nursery, we try to remember that spring is a busy time of year for them, so we plan to go prepared. Poor We have perused many garden Maintenance books and magazines, did our research on the types of shrubs,
