Paradise Parking Plots Community Garden is a project of World Relief Western Washington. In 2017, we began transforming an underused parking lot into a thriving garden with 50 growing beds, raingardens, a bioswale, and food forest. It is a place where refugees, immigrants and local community members can gather to grow culturally-appropriate foods that promote a healthier lifestyle, improve food access, foster economic independence, and build community.
Thank you for your help in continuing to build and improve our shared space!
