Longfellow Creek garden at a glance

Start with the basics. The Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, which oversees P-Patch gardens, lists these facts about the site in its city GIS data:

Address: 2450 SW Thistle St, Seattle, WA

Cross streets: SW Thistle St and 25th Ave SW

Plots: 22

Size: about 4,000 square feet

Established: 2003

Picture a compact, close-knit garden rather than a wide open field. With 22 plots spread across roughly 4,000 square feet, the whole site works out to under 200 square feet of total area per plot, so neighbors garden side by side.

Plots, rules and getting involved

Because the Longfellow Creek P-Patch belongs to a citywide program, the City of Seattle handles plot sign-ups, waitlists, fees and garden rules, and those details are not listed here. For current information, head to the official Longfellow Creek page on the city website.
