The Cascade P-Patch provides a rare patch of green in the South Lake Union Neighborhood. Gardeners rent a small plot from the city, and are responsible for maintaining the entire area for the public. Work Parties are held monthly.
The May Work Party will require many extra hands. We are going to create raised beds for those who may have limited mobility. These beds will allow someone to garden if they are in a wheelchair or walker. Now those with limited mobility can also get some healthy exercise, grow fresh vegetables to eat, socialize and spend time out of doors.
If you can sew, lift, stick a shovel in the soil, rake, pull a weed join us. We are trying to maintain and improve this little oasis in the middle of the city.
There will be refreshments and entertainment. Bring a friend.
Please dress for the weather--we love it all. Consider sunscreen and water f you like. You are welcome to bring your own tools or gloves, though we expect we have enough. Though we love dogs, it may not be the best days to bring your four-legged companions.
Our objectives for the day are to beautify and create a new opportunity to those left out.
Please join us!

About Cascade Patch Community Garden

Mission Statement
We are one of 88 Community Gardens run by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. We have created an urban oasis in the middle of South Lake Union for individuals to produce healthy food, interact, build community and provide recreational opportunities.
Description
Each gardener leases a small plot from the city for their own use and puts in extra time to maintain the entire garden and community areas. If you are interested in your own plot search for Seattle P-Patch on the Internet.
We need additional volunteers to help maintain the food we raise for the food banks, and for the common areas. It's a quiet place to have lunch, or where some friends meet for tai chi, and an escape from concrete boxes nearby. Your help is needed to keep up this public garden, demonstrate good land use, prevent run-off, and provide habitat for native bees and songbirds.
Check out our monthly work parties as listed on the shed, or let us coordinate a day for your group.
