Angel Morgan

Angel Morgan P-Patch & Sitting Park
Neighbors in a South Seattle community came together in 2003 to talk about what could be done with the abandoned lot at 42nd Ave South between Morgan Street and Angel Place. After a year of hard and rewarding work by neighbors hoping to create a place of community and beauty, the garden was planted in 2004. In addition to abundant garden plots, the plans for the site included two food bank beds, a rock garden, two wheelchair-accessible plots, a tool shed, compost bins, a gathering area and picnic area, a sitting park with benches, and a children's play area. This variety in the site is matched by the diversity in the neighborhood: gardeners hail from all over the United States, The Philippines, Vietnam, Guatemala, Liberia, China, Mexico, Laos and Samoa. Over the years, all of us have continued to transform a bare patch of ground into a lush and nourishing community garden.
