A Small Garden on a Roosevelt Side Street

Expect a cozy, close-knit layout here rather than a sprawling field. Seattle Department of Neighborhoods records, published through City of Seattle GIS, list about 3,500 square feet of garden space divided into 29 plots, so the beds sit tightly packed together in true residential style.

Those same city records give 2003 as the year the garden was established. That means neighbors have been tending this corner of the block for more than two decades.

Getting a Plot or Learning More

The garden runs under the City of Seattle P-Patch community gardening program, managed by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Details such as plot availability, waitlists, fees and garden rules are not covered here, so head to the official Roosevelt P-Patch page on the city website for the latest information.
