This Eagle scout candidate project will bring a beautiful, decorative bulletin board to the Horiuchi P-Patch, to help increase communication between the gardeners at Horiuchi P-Patch and between the Horiuchi P-Patch gardeners and the community. This project will also improve the gravel walkway in the P-Patch. It is a partnership between a youth volunteer and a very diverse, mainly elderly group of gardeners in the Yesler neighborhood of Seattle.

The Fremont P-Patch Community Garden, which is located at 3935 Woodland Park Ave N will remove two hazardous Trees. According to the arborist risk assessment, the trees are a high risk safety hazard for gardeners, public visitors, passersby, and neighboring residences. They are also invasive and noxious. This project will make the garden safer and prevent further spread of this species. This project will also make a significant portion of the garden more productive and increase gardener retention by reducing the amount of shade impacting the plots under the trees. The removal of the trees will help increase public usage of the garden by making the garden more visible from the street. The project is free and open to the public. This project will be complete in February 2022.
