Thirty-two garden plots share a residential corner of north Seattle, each one worked by a neighbor with a patch to call their own. This is the Greenwood P-Patch community garden, at 343 NW 88th St on the corner of 3rd Ave NW in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. Local gardeners have grown here since 1997 as part of the City of Seattle's P-Patch community gardening program, and the result is a small, close-knit patch of green.
A Compact Corner of 32 Plots
Picture about 3,200 square feet of garden, compact by any measure, divided into 32 plots that individual gardeners tend on their own. Because each plot reflects whoever is growing there that year, the look of the place shifts with the seasons and with each new season's growers.
The garden opened in 1997, so it has been part of the block for well over two decades. It is one of many gardens in the city program, and if you want to see how it compares, browse our list of community gardens across Seattle.
