Seventy-three garden plots share a single street corner in East Queen Anne, each one worked by residents from this side of the hill who want ground to tend close to home. This is the Queen Anne P-Patch, a community garden at 217 Lynn St, where 3rd Ave N meets Lynn St. A City of Seattle P-Patch since 1994, it fits all those plots into about 15,000 square feet.
73 Plots on One Corner
Picture roughly 15,000 square feet of planted ground, a little more than a third of an acre, divided into 73 individual plots. Each gardener works a modest patch, so the garden as a whole becomes a shared space for a sizable group of neighbors.
This corner has been part of the city's community gardening network for three decades. The P-Patch program is run by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, which keeps a dedicated page for every garden in its system.
