Welcome Sign at Good Shepard P-Patch
Even apartment dwellers can have their own parcel to farm…in Seattle!
Over forty years ago, the concept of an individual allotment of land within an urban community garden or “P-Patch” was born when a city councilmember and a group of neighborhood activists wanted to find a way to maintain some farmland within Seattle.
The “P” commemorates the Picardo family whose farm became the first P-Patch.
Now, there are over 82 of these community gardens spread
throughout the city. Within each P-Patch, individual garden plot sizes range between 40 and 400 square feet.
Need a pint-sized urban get-a-way? Visit a P-Patch for 15-minutes or an afternoon. Find a location here.
