GARDEN DIFFERENTLY

Spatula Farms transforms underutilized greenspace into thriving urban gardens

Let's garden together.

We're short on space...

Many of Seattle's community gardens have a 3-5 year waitlist. At the same time, most lawns and planting strips go unused.

...but you can help!

By building relationships with homeowners, Spatula Farms transforms underutilized greenspaces into urban gardens.

Lend your lawn

Through transforming planting strips into flourishing pollinator meadows and vegetable patches, our gardens bring color and vibrancy to the neighborhood in the summer’s driest months.

Urban Garden

Our most requested option allows gardeners to grow their own fruits and vegetables. Seattle’s ample summer sunshine allows for multiple rounds of crop rotation.

Wildflower Meadow

Wildflower meadows are vital havens of biodiversity that support a huge variety of species, big and small: butterflies, grasshoppers, bees and other insects. We create the space and plant the seeds. You only need to add water.

Location

Our pilot project is located in South Ballard.

Contact us if you want to bring a similar program to your neighborhood.
