Resources for Community Gardens

You have always wanted to garden but you don't feel like you have enough know how, well we are here to help! There are already many community gardens in Portland and we are working to ensure that there are more. But a community garden isn't the only way to begin your planting career, you can have a pot of herbs, plant a tree or grow flowers in a planter box.
Below are a list of resources and links that will help you start your garden and then keep it going, whether that means an herb patch or corn to feed the whole family all autum long. Good luck and feel free to send us your experiences, we might even add them to our blog. And write to city council, asking them to support more community gardens!

Our Neighborhood

We created a survey on Gardening and sustainability. This survey was put together to give us an idea of how educated our community was on gardening and what they eat. We learned so far that most people have no idea of where there food comes from and they dont really pay any attention to what they eat, But a small percentage of people do care enough about what they eat and where it comes from. A couple people told us that new seasons was a great place to shop for local fresh healthy foods.
