P-Patch Community Gardens
Magnolia Manor Park As part of the Magnolia Manor Park expansion, a new P-Patch is set to sprout in the Magnolia neighborhood! With a new park design finalized, plans are underway to design and develop the P-Patch portion with funding support from the Parks & Green Spaces Levy.
What's New? The community is currently working on a detailed design for the P-Patch section of the new Magnolia Manor Park. Local landscape architects, SiteWorkshop are helping with this process. If you'd like to be a part of the design phase, join the Interest List.
Get Involved! The best way to stay informed is through the Friends of Magnolia Manor Park facebook page. Also, be sure to join the Interest List to let us know you're interested in this P-Patch.
Getting a Garden Plot New garden plots are assigned based on involvement. While the City provides support, new gardens are built by the community. Neighbors come together to envision, design, and eventually construct a unique garden that meets their needs and reflects their neighborhood identity. Thus, community commitment through volunteering is the primary factor in assigning plots in a new garden. If you are interested in getting a plot join the Interest List and please see How Plots are Assigned.
History Sustainable Magnolia, a neighborhood organization, received a Small and Simple Neighborhood Matching Fund award form the Department of Neighborhoods to host a community-driven process, including three public input meetings, to create an updated site design for Magnolia Manor Park, with the goal of creating a mixed-use place of beauty, vibrancy, and sustainability for all members of the community. In addition to other features, such as a dog off-leash area, the park will include space for a new P-Patch Garden. With design work completed, the newly formed Friends of Magnolia Manor Park are spearheading development of the park over the coming year.
