Just Grow It! Plots Open at 9 South Seattle P-Patches

Do you want to grow fresh organic produce for yourself and your family while also supporting your community and learning gardening techniques from your neighbors? Now’s your chance!

Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods has P-Patch plots available in several of its community gardens throughout the City, including nine in Southeast Seattle. Most plots are 100 square feet and cost $43.00 annually. Plot fee assistance is also available to help reduce or eliminate the cost of your annual fee.

Gardeners grow vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers in their individual plots and participate in communal volunteer projects. Each year, every gardener is required to donate eight hours to communal volunteer projects in the garden. As a P-Patch gardener, you also have the opportunity to participate in the Giving Gardens program, that donates fresh produce to local food banks and meal programs. Last year, Seattle P-Patchers donated over 63,000 pounds to Seattle’s emergency food system.

Check out the Southeast Seattle gardens with available plots below. The Department of Neighborhoods recommends that people live within walking distance to their garden or other easy commute, to make maintaining your space as easy as possible!
