About The P-Patch
High Point Commons Garden
High Point Commons Garden P-Patch was developed in 2010 to replace an existing garden during housing redevelopment. The garden serves both High Point low-income residents and homeowners in the neighborhood. It provides at least 46 households access to community gardening to grow organic, culturally appropriate food and to engage in a recreational social network and physical activity.
This unique garden is located in a park open space managed by Open Space Association (OSA). Features of this garden include a woodchip pathway, benches, flower beds, and common space for kids and adults.
The West Seattle Bee Garden is part of the P-Patch garden site at the north end of High Point Commons Park. A beautiful, architecturally designed beehive enclosure is visible through its transparent exterior. There is a large common space by the beehive enclosure with benches and bee information boards. Along with educating garden-goers, the bee garden installation has introduced bees to the P-Patch that cross-pollinate the garden crop.
