Grow Portland Revs Up for Spring - April 3, 2012

Story by Abby Warren

 

Our partners at Grow Portland are getting geared up for growing season!

 

Plot enrollment is now open for their community gardens! Click here to sign up.

 

Single plots (approx. 15'x15') cost $50 and double plots (approx. 15'x30') cost $90. Cost covers plots containing tested, tilled and amended soil as well as access to tools and a lead gardener to answer questions.

 

Plots are available at the following gardens:

 

East County Community Garden- 24375 SE Stark, Gresham

Eastminster Gardens- NE 125th and Halsey

Cesar Chavez- SE Ellis and SE Cesar Chavez Ave.

 

Seed Club is hosting their final seed packing event. Click here to register.

 

Grow Portland's Seed Club buys organic, open-pollinated vegetable seeds in bulk, then repacks them into smaller envelopes for home gardeners, market growers, and school gardens. Gardeners join at a membership level specific to their garden size and type. Home garden memberships cost only $28 for 15 seed packets.
