Make this oasis in the heart of the city a place for all. No prior skill or knowledge is needed. We have gloves (bring your own if you have them). We supply the tools as well.Join the fun as we prepare flowerbeds and plant seeds, separate the black gold in the compost, organize the shed, prune, weed, plant wildflowers, remove rocks, look for water leaks, etc. It's such an important place for visitors to Fred Hutch as well as all of Cascade/SLU.
This area is NOT maintained by Parks. It's maintained by volunteers like you!
Soil, fresh air, plants are documented to ijprove your physical and mental health. It's therapeutic.
Wear clothes that can get dirty and layers.
If you bring kids, remember to supervise them. They can make seed bombs.

About Cascade Patch Community Garden
Location:
Thomas & Minor, Seattle, WA 98109, US
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.
