Fremont's
newest public green space is the result of serendipity. Don and Hazel
Hulbert lived at 4204 Baker Ave. N.W., and gardened their extra lot on
the corner. When Hazel died in December 2003, a group of neighbors were
able to see that the lot was purchased for the P-Patch Trust. A
conservation easement was recorded guaranteeing that the site will be
used for "community garden and open space in perpetuity."
With a
Steering Committee the Friends of Hazel Heights P-Patch, was formed in
2005. Since then the group has done community outreach, fundraising,
numerous events and many more activities to transform this humble lot
into a thriving community garden. |

The Site |
|
|
|
|
|
The
future P-Patch site is located in the western portion of the Fremont
neighborhood in Seattle, WA. Situated mid-way up the Phinney Ridge
slope, the site has exquisite views of the Olympic Mountains, and the
Ballard/Magnolia cityscape. As this location's height provides for
views it also contributes to some design challenges. The steep slope
will require major infrastructure including retaining walls, stair
access and terracing in order to maximize the space for gardening.

Site
design began in 2005 with a community-based charrette hosted by Barker
Landscape Architects. Attendees were mostly from the neighborhood and
were charged with generating ideas on how to develop the site. Several
designs were created and through three public meetings a preferred
design was chosen.
In 2007, Barker Landscape Architects worked
with the community to refine the preliminary master plan and prepare a
final master plan from permitting and construction. Shown below is the
final master plan and a 3-D model of the site after construction. |

The Community |
|
|
|
|
|
Fremont,
otherwise known as "the center of the universe," is a tightly knit
community of people who give back to their nieghborhood in many ways.
The Hazel Heights P-Patch is a prime example where a group of caring
and talented residents can create a meaningful project that will
continue to benefit the area for years to come. To learn more your are
welcome to join us at our next event and participate in making Hazel
Heights P-Patch a reality. |

The P-Patch Program |

|

Named
after the Picardo family, P-Patches are organic gardens located
throughout Seattle. P-Patches allow urban residents a chance to garden
and farm with other members of the community. There are over 50
P-Patches in the city with 2500 plots on 23 acres of land. Each year
they supply 7 to 10 tons of produce to Seattle food banks and provide a
beautiful garden aesthetic to the urban landscape. With a closer look
you can discover that each P-Patch has its unique benefits,
charachteristics and story. Hazel Heights will be no exception. We
invite you to learn more about the City of Seattle's P-Patch program
and the P-Patch Trust. |
