Capitol Hill will soon have a new park and that park will have a name and that name will be Seven Hills Park and Seven Hills Park will have a p-patch…
And the p-patch will have a table, two benches and a sign.
The Howell Collective, a group formed around the community garden space, has put out a call for artists to design these green space accoutrements:
The Howell Collective is a community garden project serving the residents of Capitol Hill and beyond. With support from the Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Seattle P-Patch program, the Howell Collective hopes to create a space of value that will bring together the community, offer relief from the surrounding dense urban environment, and support the engagement between neighbors and nature.
The Howell Collective is currently seeking proposals for three pieces that will be featured in the garden: a TABLE to be used for demonstrations, projects and gatherings; a SET OF TWO BENCHES to be positioned in different parts of the garden as designated sitting areas; and a SIGN welcoming guests to the garden.
Artists may submit proposals for one, two, or all three pieces. Pieces must be weatherproof, durable, use materials closest to nature, and reflect the Howell Collective’s mission statement.
More info, requirements and, importantly, budget info here.
The group also reports that the start of construction on Seven Hills Park has been pushed back to April.
Actually its a community garden, not a p-patch. This means its a collective gardening space, with no individual lots. The garden gets tended collectively by the community as one collective.
Those budgets are unrealistically low.
