A mazon has just gifted the Ballard P-Patch $270,000 to help close the fundraising gap needed to help save the half-acre community garden. The 44-year-old Ballard P-Patch has been at risk of losing their small plot when Our Redeemers announced plans to sell the site last year. Our Redeemers has been leasing the plot to the City of Seattle for just $1 per year, for over four decades, but announced plans to sell it last year so they could pay for renovations in the church.
