Before he passed away in 2019, Brian Glaspell cultivated this garden for many years, donating the majority of the produce to the PT Food Bank, usually about 5,000 lbs per year. His wife, Jeanie, was very happy to discover the Food Bank Growers organization and host the return of the garden's ability to provide for  the food bank.

This high production garden not only serves the students of Port Townsend High School, but the PT Food Bank during the summer months.  Teacher Jennifer Kruse helps students get the most from the plot.  During the summer months Food Bank Growers manage the space. The garden has been feeding students and donating food to the Food Bank since 2012 via this space.  Volunteers meet Fridays 9-11.
