Cascade Patch Community Garden

Seattle, WA
|
www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/programs-and-

    • Mission

    We are one of 88 Community Gardens run by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. We have created an urban oasis in the middle of South Lake Union for individuals to produce healthy food, interact, build community and provide recreational opportunities.

    About Us

    Each gardener leases a small plot from the city for their own use and puts in extra time to maintain the entire garden and community areas. If you are interested in your own plot search for Seattle P-Patch on the Internet.

    We need additional volunteers to help maintain the food we raise for the food banks, and for the common areas. It's a quiet place to have lunch, or where some friends meet for tai chi, and an escape from concrete boxes nearby. Your help is needed to keep up this public garden, demonstrate good land use, prevent run-off, and provide habitat for native bees and songbirds.

    Check out our monthly work parties as listed on the shed, or let us coordinate a day for your group.

    Cause Areas Include

    • Community Development
    • Education
    • Environment & Sustainability
    • Hunger, Food Security
    • Seniors & Retirement
