Clever gadgets, heart-tugging treasures, and great bargains will be among the finds offered during Waimea’s 3rd “Culinary and Garden Garage Sale”. Great finds donated to the garage sale include such clever gadgets as “a lawn shark” (a tool that looks like a serrated-edge pie cutter on a long handle for edging sod), a “garden weasel” (a miniature hand cultivator for working up soil), and a “hula hoe” (a tool that looks like rotating spurs on a long wooden handle, used to hand-till soil). Also included in the growing list of treasures are a wide array of cookbooks from the shelves of many of Waimea’s best cooks plus culinary collectibles such as a plantation-era sieve, beautiful serving platters, dishes and glassware, linens, and contemporary kitchen appliances and garden equipment. Sponsored by Slow Food Hawai‘i with kokua from the Waimea Homestead Farmers’ Market, the fundraiser will support the now seven-year-old Mala‘ai school garden, which has become a statewide model for hands-on, experiential learning focused on growing and sharing fresh, organic produce and, in the process, supporting student and community health, wellness, environmental and cultural stewardship and academic progress. Donations are still welcome. Please drop them off at Waimea Middle School’s office or call Slow Food Hawai‘i Leader Clare Bobo (936-6511) or Mala‘ai school garden Board member Jeanne Oshima (887-1027).
