The Toandos “P-patch” Community Garden has 14 sunny 10 x 20 plots. The garden is fenced to keep deer out, and each plot has water available. There are tools covering most garden chores in a community shed for use by the gardeners. One plot is being used primarily to attract beneficial insects, and a “mini-orchard” has been established to provide fruit.
The use of a plot is free, but there is an expectation that the gardeners share some of their bounty with the Jefferson County Food Bank. Participants are asked to attend a few work parties throughout the year. If you like to garden but don’t want your own plot, you are welcome to join the work parties and help out other gardeners

The garden has received major financial support from the Jefferson County Master Gardeners Association, Quilcene-Brinnon Garden Club, Jefferson County Parks and Recreation District 1, and Thrivent Financial.  Local individuals helped in many ways to make the P-patch possible, from plowing the ground to providing fencing materials and plants, and more.
