Unpaving Paradise! --Community Garden Art! Capitol Hill-Seattle

Summit and John, the most heavily populated corner in Seattle now has a community garden.  Nick-named "Unpaving Paradise" this garden gem is located behind the Starbucks on Olive Street.  This park-p-patch garden combo used to be a parking lot.  Now it  has a dedicated garden artist.  He/She is unknown, but they have brought the sun to the patch.  Corn in yoga poses, sleeping peas, and ripe, plump, tomatoes come alive on this January day!

 
I LOVE MY P-PATCH !

Ok. Just wanted to talk a bit about an advocacy group here in Seattle which buys land to preserve -forever- as urban garden space. This group is called the P-patch Trust. This awesome organization started from the grassroots up. It is an amazing story of how a group of dedicated individuals can come together under a common cause and make a huge difference to the communities around them.
Rock on P-Patch Trust. Separate from the city community garden program also called 'P-patch', the trust's mission is to "acquire, build, preserve, and protect gardens in Seattle's neighboorhoods."

You know, as I learn more about what people can do and do do to protect this planet and all its inhabitants and I am humbled by their/our committment to leave this earth better than when we found it.

My thoughts for a rainy day here in Seattle, Washington.
