Cascade P-Patch

The Seattle Department of Neighborhoods' P-Patch Program, in conjunction with the not-for-profit Friends of P-Patch, provides community garden space for residents of 44 neighborhoods. More than 1900 plots serve more than 4,600 urban gardeners on 12 acres of land. There are programs to serve low-income, disabled, youth, and non-English speaking populations. P-Patch gardeners supply 7 to 10 tons of produce to Seattle food banks each year. Supporting a strong environmental ethic, the P-Patch Program allows organic gardening only.
