Over 100 talented local youth were involved in the “All Are Welcome” mural project: residents of the neighborhoods inside and around Magnuson Park, kids from YMCA and Seattle Audubon after-school and summer programs, and/or whose families garden in the Magnuson P-Patch.  The ideas, artwork, and energy  of these wonderful youth now provides a colorful, inclusive welcome to all park visitors!

The youth were guided by local artist and teacher Sandy Bricel Miller of Red Ochre Art Studio, and assisted by the Children’s Garden Committee mural team.  We hope you’ll visit the garden soon to check them out!

This project was funded in part by a Neighborhood Matching Fund award from the City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.

LAND

We respectfully acknowledge that Magnuson Children’s Garden stands on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, and the past and present traditional land of the Duwamish People.  We honor all the indigenous peoples that thrive here, and the land itself, with gratitude.

UNITY

We stand with all Asian American/Pacific Islander, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and LGBTQ+ communities during this significant time in our nation’s history, and during each day of every year.  The Magnuson Children’s Garden mission is rooted in growing love, and we will continue on this path by advocating for equality throughout our community, fostering shared experiences, and supporting the much-needed healing and wellness that nature provides.
