What Is the Magnuson Community Garden?
The Magnuson Park Concept Plan, adopted by Seattle City Council Resolution No. 30063, called for a 4-acre community garden to be located immediately east of the Brig in Magnuson Park. The garden will serve horticultural purposes related to plant education, demonstrating native plant materials, composting, facilities to accommodate gardening for persons with physical disabilities, in addition to relocating the displaced Sand Point P-Patch at NE 70th and the Burke Gilman Trail.There are public tours of the garden at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. If you would like to arrange a tour at another time please call the Botanic Garden at . Park District Naturalists also conduct tours in the garden.
How Is the Garden Being Funded?
Interested gardeners met in November 1999 to discuss applying to the city for a Neighborhood matching grant to cover the costs of designing a garden in Magnuson Park. A Small and Simple, $10,000 grant was applied for under the name of the Magnuson Gardens Coalition. As part of the grant requirement, gardeners pledged volunteer time (in-kind match) to match the dollars of the grant. The grant was awarded to the group in March 2000 and the process of community outreach and garden design began.The 2008 Show will feature more than 300 unique exhibitors, from nurseries, garden centers and specialty merchants to landscape designers and craftsmen. You can buy plants, garden accents, furniture, landscape supplies, books, yard decor outdoor living components and much more.
When should you mulch the garden?
Mulching should be done at least once per year. This can be done at anytime of the year, be it spring, summer, fall or winter. Many gardeners choose to mulch in the spring because that is when they are cleaning up the garden for the year ahead and when a lot of weeds are beginning to emerge.The 2008 Show will feature more than 300 unique exhibitors, from nurseries, garden centers and specialty merchants to landscape designers and craftsmen.

Can I use the chicken manure in my garden?
Chicken manure is high in nitrogen, so it is considered “hot”. It will need to be composted before putting it directly onto your garden. once it has broken down, it then becomes perfect food for the garden. A Polyphemus moth rests on the outside of the coop. Good thing! If it were on the inside, it would make a tasty snack for one of the hens.Our goal is to have your child involved as much as possible in the maintenance of their garden.
