COMMUNITY GARDEN
Since 2002, the Magnuson Community Garden Coalition has worked to transform
a parking lot and empty field into a functional community garden and
neighborhood gathering place. Volunteers from northeast Seattle neighborhoods,
community and corporate groups helped make the garden a reality. In
2004 the garden was formally dedicated to the community!
