Fifty-one plots of food and flowers share about a third of an acre on a corner of North Seattle's Pinehurst neighborhood. This is Jackson Park P-Patch, a community garden at 13049 10th Ave NE, near NE 133rd St, and part of the City of Seattle's P-Patch community gardening program. Gardeners have been growing here since 1974, which makes the plot a long-standing piece of neighborhood life.
The garden by the numbers
The Seattle Department of Neighborhoods keeps records on the garden, published through City of Seattle GIS, and together they give you a clear picture of its scale.

With 51 plots on a third of an acre, plenty of gardeners share this ground. Each one tends a modest plot of their own, so the garden comes together as a patchwork of many small spaces.
