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!

Walking the neighborhood

We wa lked around and did our surveys today. It was kinda frustrating, because it was early in the morning and we were not trying to walk door to door. So we walked to Columbia park asked people to take our survey. Alot of people we asked didnt want to participate in the survey and they were rude about saying no. So we walked back and seen some people out in there yards and at the bus stop that seemed willing enough to participate.
