Community members are invited to participate in designing a P-Patch community garden on the roof of the Mercer Garage at Seattle Center. Landscape Architects Kistler/Higbee Cahoot will facilitate three public workshops to design the garden. Each session will build on the last, so attendance to all three meetings is encouraged.

WHAT:
In partnership with neighborhood volunteers and Seattle Center, Seattle Department of Neighborhoods is developing a new P-Patch community garden on top of the Mercer Garage at 3rd Avenue N and Mercer Street. The project is funded through the 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy which dedicated $2 million to P-Patch community garden development. In partnership with community volunteers, the P-Patch Community Gardening Program is supporting 20 new or expanded P-Patch gardens.
