From communty meeting, I could know that gardeners wish more community with not only gardener’s company but also other people. This site has entrance of walking path, so there are many chances to take community. However, it doesn’t incarnate. One of the reason is circumstance of site’s outskirts. it makes site closure feeling. my design is to solve this problem and make more community. site: 13027-13299 10th Ave NE, Seattle, WA
