From the Bellingham Parks & Rec Dept:
Note: these work parties have multiple shifts! There are available shifts in both the morning and afternoon on Saturday, March 7th and Saturday, March 14th! You may choose morning (9 a.m. – 12 p.m.), afternoon (1–3 p.m.), or both for either day.
Parking is a short 10-minute walk down the street from the nursery at the South Bellingham Park and Ride (West). Follow our work party signs and walk to our native plant nursery at 2710 Donovan Ave.
All ages and abilities welcome. Participants under age 16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Tools, gloves, and instructions are provided. Please note that bare-root potting is less physically active than our typical work parties, and we recommend warmer layers. As always, please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.

FREE Scottish Country Dance Class
03/14/2026 - 10:00 am - 12:00 pm at Littlefield Celtic Center
1124 Cleveland Ave
You’re invited to a FREE Scottish Country Dance Class on Saturday, March 14th from 10am-12pm at the Littlefield Celtic Center in Mount Vernon.
SCD classes at Littlefield Celtic Center are general, multi-level sessions with some step practice and teaching of dances. Once we have a feeling for the make-up of the class, we’d like to focus on beginners and inexperienced dancers for the first 45 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of general social dancing for everyone, and we’ll end with 45 minutes of focus for more experienced dancers.
Beginners are most welcome; we would like to work using a building-block approach where we will review and build on skills learned in the previous class. The goals of RSCDS include “Fun, Fitness, Friendship.” If this sounds appealing, then SCD is for you! If you enjoy dancing socially to wonderful, traditional music, if you would like to try dancing in a team (set) with six or eight other dancers, if you think you might enjoy some energetic but graceful and elegant dancing—with a little bit of courtliness thrown in—then this is for you!
No partner or special clothing is needed. Loose and comfortable is the best. Women often wear skirts (not a requirement). Soft-soled shoes, such as ballet or jazz shoes allow you to move around the floor with ease and to point your toe, but don’t let that prevent you from giving SCD a try.
Bring a cheerful smile, a willingness to listen, and a desire to “have a go”! We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!
