Danny Woo International District Community Garden

Who Was Danny Woo?
He and his wife Wilma ran the Quong Tuck Restaurant and Lounge in the International District. They were asked to support a nonprofit agency, InterIm, by leasing out their property (for $ 1/​yr) to support a community garden. That was in 1975, and the Woo family has continued to renew the lease, presumably under the same terms.
The vision was for a garden that the seniors of the Community could be active/​social in, and have the opportunity to work the soil and grow the fruits and vegetables they wanted. Like a P-​Patch.
There is also a Children’s garden where 100s of students come to learn about the soil and sustainable gardening. Both the young and old benefit from the intergenerational mixing.
It’s mid-​June, the gardens are alive with unique produce, young adults are «in class» on the wavy steps, and the chickens are clucking.

A more accurate review would be: where the druggies, bums and criminals in Chinatown hide out. It would be nice if SPD cleaned those dregs out so citizens could actually enjoy it.

Community Garden where our Asian elders grow vegetables reflecting their cultural foods of choice, socialize and exercise. This terraced garden is accompanied by stairs, lush trees and a wooden «waterfall» –like seating area. Monkey stumbled upon this diamond in the rough while navigating parking on a busy Dim Sum Sunday morning. Enjoyed discovering every pathway and taking pictures with visiting family.
«Named after a member of the Woo family that has leased the property to InterIm CDA since 1975, the garden is uniquely tied to the history of the Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean and other Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants who helped make Seattle the city it is today.» –http://​www​.inter​im​icda​.org/​i​n​d​e​x​.​p​h​p​?​/​s​u​s​t​a​i​n​a​b​l​e​_​c​o​m​m​u​n​i​t​i​e​s​/​d​a​n​n​y​_​w​o​o​_​g​a​rden/
Monkey do enjoy the walk uphill after Dim Sum Sunday. Park farther, walk more. Enjoy the view.
