Growing & giving: Big achievement for Lincoln Park P-Patch

| Gardening | West Seattle news

The Department of Neighborhoods’ P-Patch program has sent around a document showing a big achievement by Fauntleroy’s relatively little Lincoln Park Annex P-Patch (uphill from the tennis courts). The document from Solid Ground tracks the amount of food donated by each P-Patch and its gardeners. For starters, as this chart shows, the P-Patch had by far the biggest amount donated per acre:

The garden also ranked second in the number of pounds of food donated by gardener, 51. Overall, P-Patches around the city gave more than 13 tons of fresh food to people in need; see the full report here.

Way to go! Thanks to everyone who participates in this program. Good produce it tough to come by in food banks and sorely needed in our low income population.

What an amazing achievement. Congratulations to the gardeners and maintainers of all the P-Patches.

This is our second year at Lincoln Park P-patch and we couldn’t couldn’t be more proud or excited to be part of such an honor.
There is one gal who does so much work in the Food Bank garden that she is an inspiration, to me at least. So a special thanks to her. (I know she wouldn’t want her name mentioned.)

Sorry, comment time is over.
