About Us |

Welcome to the home of the Marymoor Community Garden Association. This purpose of this website is to help you communicate with us for questions or comments on any aspect of our garden - for new and returning gardeners. We are a non-profit organization working in cooperation with King County Parks to rent 2.1 acres of public gardening space. There are typically 80 or more gardeners for vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs—all grown organically. This is the eighth year the Marymoor Community Gardeners Association has administered the garden, but this public garden is one of the oldest of its kind in the country, spanning over 30 years in operation. |
