There<br>> is some interest in the neighborhood in starting a new garden to grow food for<br>> donation. If you are interested in that idea, please read below for more<br>> details about the project and how to get involved. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Thanks for your time!<br>> <br>> Laura Raymond <br>> <br>> P-Patch Program | Seattle Department of<br>> Neighborhoods<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> **********************************************<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Dear<br>> Phinney P-Patch Gardeners and Waitlisters,<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> The<br>> Parks & Green Spaces Levy Opportunity Fund provides the possibility of<br>> adding more P-Patch gardens in Seattle<br>> and I?ve been eyeing the property down the street from your spot. The<br>> triangle parcel at NW 55th and 3rd Ave NW is already owned by<br>> Seattle Parks and there are no current plans for the site. I think it would<br>> make a great garden spot with good views and lots of sunshine. I?ve<br>> kicked this idea around with some Phinney Ridge neighborhood folks and the idea<br>> was proposed that it be a community giving garden. I also understand that there<br>> is currently a long waiting list for the Phinney P-Patch. So, would like to get<br>> some feedback from the likeliest people (you local gardeners) to take this up.<br>> Preliminary project proposal letters for the Opportunity Fund are due to Parks<br>> by February 1st, so not a whole lot of time to act on this. The next<br>> round for the Opportunity Fund is not for two more years.
