New P-Patch

There is a new P-Patch in the Central District at 25th and Spring!

For those of you who did not know, folks in the community have been hard at work obtaining a vacant lot at the corner of 25th and Spring and working with the city to get the permits to turn it into a P-Patch (aka neighborhood garden). The P-Patch is officially the communities and we are now in the development stage of the garden (for example, determining layout and design, etc).

As a community space, we would love as much community involvement and input in the creation of this new green space. We invite you to attend a public meeting on Friday, May 30 from 6:30 - 8:00 PM at the Garfield Community Center, Kid’s Place Room. Following the meeting there will be a Neighbor Meet & Greet with refreshments.
Even if you aren't able to attend the meeting we encourage anyone who is interested in getting involved (there are many tasks with varying skills levels that we need help with) to come be a part of it. If you aren't able to attend the meeting but want to get involved, email or call Rich MacDonald at rich.macdonald@seattle.gov and 206-684-0264.

(from a neighbor) By the way, they aren't "Pea Patches" as in green things you eat, they are "P-Patches", named after Mr. Picardo who gave Seattle the site for the first one, now called "Picardo P-Patch". Everywhere else in the world they are called "community gardens".
