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!

Surveys

While passing out surveys I learned that it is easier to go during the day rather than in the morning because at that time people are usually either working or sleeping. We went out 3 different days to pass them out and it took a long time to reach our goal to get 50 surveys but we did it. One of the other challenges that we came across was that we couldn't go past certain streets because we wanted to keep it in our community. We got passed these obsticles because we just kept on pushing our selves to keep going and we did it.
