Located adjacent to the City of Seattle’s Kobe Terrace Park, the Danny Woo Community Garden makes up part of 1.5 acres of the largest green space in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID. The steeply terraced garden is comprised of 88 plots that are tended by about 65 elderly Asian gardeners. Named after a member of the Woo family that has leased the property to InterIm CDA since 1975, the garden is uniquely tied to the history of the Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean and other Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants who helped make Seattle the city it is today. The garden is an important place where low-income gardeners can socialize, get exercise and raise vegetables that reflect their cultural foods of choice: bok choy, bittermelon, daikon, and watercress among others. At this support project, TMC members will tackle ongoing gardening preps that include mulching, pruning, and good old garden-beautification. Kids are welcome as they are able to help out works with the chicken coop and other fun stuff. All tools are provided as well as warm drinks that will keep us toasty. What a great way to give back and get outdoors welcoming Spring!
