Gardening Program
VolunteerHIP is committed to teaching children where their food comes from. Our Gardening Program, in partnership with Seattle Department of Neighborhoods’ P-Patch program , teaches the joy of digging in the dirt, tips for nurturing healthy plants, and how to prepare the bounty of the harvest.
HIP’s gardening program runs weekly during the Summer months in conjunction with our Summer Eats Program site at Lake City Court, where we have a demonstration plot. In addition to weekly gardening programs, HIP organizes a couple of volunteer parties to work on the pea-patch.
Check out our summer calendar for details on our programming. All programs are open to all and free.
