P-Patch Community Gardens

Eastlake

Garden with a View

Surrounded by the sparkling waters of Lake Union and the verdant Fairview Park, the Eastlake P-Patch perches on the northwest toe of Capitol Hill. Spring brings dazzling tulip displays and soaring eagles. Summer spills over with vegetable bounty and flowers. Our fully accessible one-of-a-kind tool shed features a sliding copper-faced door complete with pea pod handle. Personal (funky) art abounds. Come discover our treasures for yourself.

The Eastlake P-Patch is expanding in 2009

The Eastlake P-Patch hopes to expand. Yes, more garden space! AND we need lots of help to make this happen. It will take both
work and money. And YOU?

We have a great design for the expanded garden space.

In order to create the work plan, budget, and community match we need several point people to:

- price materials: wood, rock, plumbing, soil, concrete, heavy equipment rental, etc.
- secure volunteer commitments time/labor
- solicit donations: money, services, food, materials
- secure plumbing services, be a plumber
- recruit work party leaders, lead work parties
- coordinate skills offered by neighborhood volunteers and friends
- loan a truck during construction
- attend work parties, volunteer your time
- help build the garden

Your volunteer time is valued at $15 per hour. In kind professional services are valued at the going rate for the service up to $75 per hour.Please let us know how you would like to be involved and how many hours you'd like to pledge:

Mary Jones: MEJ@raincity.com 860-9293
Barb Donnette: JandBDonnette@comcast.net 324-6147

Please reply via email when possible as we both travel. It will help ensure proper tracking.

New garden plots will be assigned to people who work on helping create them. Those who commit the most hours will be moved to the top of the list and will be given priority in plot assignments. Please get involved; there's plenty of work of all different kinds.

We have faith in the power of gardens, neighbors, and nature. Please join us!

Cheers, Barb and Mary
