I was very happy to get half of a plot there after waiting for only 3 months. It is located on Mt Baker Ridge, 1.6 miles from my current home in the Mt Baker neighborhood & 1.8 miles from my future home at Rainier Vista in the Rainier Valley. When the Rainier Vista house is built, it will have a small shade garden. My current garden is mostly in sun. I moved a number of perennials for sun to plot B29B. I will plant vegetable seeds in the spring.
The Bradner Gardens Park P-Patch is perhaps the nicest p-patch in Seattle. There is an excellent view of Downtown Seattle. The tool shed is spacious & filled with tools. In the same structure, there is also a restroom with tile-mosaic walls, a kitchen & a meeting room with a fireplace. The 1.6 acre park contains a pavilion, a native plant garden with a bioswale & seasonal pond, ornamental theme gardens & a basketball court. From September of 1970 to June of 1971, I was in the 6th grade at John Muir Elementary School Annex on the property that became Bradner Gardens Park. The baby boom caused John Muir to become so crowded that the 5th & 6th grades were temporarily relocated there in portable classrooms.
Below is the plant list for plot B29B. I have a plan for a formal, nearly symmetrical perennial & vegetable garden. The plot is said to be 100 square feet, but is really about 60 square feet, not that I'm complaining.
