Greenwood Park Community Garden almost done, needs final donations

by | Oct 8, 2011

Vision Greenwood Park volunteers have worked hard for years to transform Greenwood Park, 602 N. 87th St., into a safer, more welcoming park for everyone. The new Community Garden is almost done, but VGP needs about $2,000 more to finish the project.

From VGP member Cassandra Allen:

We have made significant progess building the raised beds. The accessible beds are complete! The rest of the beds though need one more level of boards – for which we are doing some additional fundraising. We hope to raise another $2,200 to be able to buy: the rest of the boards, soil for the beds and the remaining materials for the tool shed.
VGP and community volunteers have been working with local metal artist Kim Hall on the fence artwork that’s along Fremont Avenue. Several pieces are complete, but we will continue working on this through the fall to bring the theme of the evolution of Seattle transportation (spinning off of the Interurban’s route through Greenwood) to life.

If you’d like to donate to the project, visit the online donation page.
