P-Patch Community Gardens

Ballard

Founded in 1976, Ballard P-Patch is among the oldest in Seattle today. With over 90 plots, it’s almost a community unto itself. Our gardeners pride themselves on sumptuous strawberries, tantalizing tomatoes, dazzling Dahlias, and stunning sunflowers.

Four of our largest plots are dedicated food bank plots, and coupled with the efforts of individual gardeners to “plant a row for the hungry," Ballard P-Patch has provided the food bank with many thousands of pounds of fresh produce over the years.

A beautiful patio defines the garden’s focal point where one can sit back and enjoy the garden with an inspiring view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains painting the back drop.

Join us for our summer annual “Art in the Garden” festival when we showcase local artists within the garden. Enjoy a beautiful outdoor "gallery walk" of art while strolling through the garden. Listen to music, meet our gardeners, and enjoy complementary treats. Save this date to come and enjoy summer in Puget Sound at its best.

We invite you to visit our P-Patch anytime. For information on joining or volunteering please e-mail us e-mail us.
