I am about to move to Portland and look forward to becoming a member of a local community!

I wish I was a gardner, but I'm not! I live in the Woodstock area and can provide a bit of space to a gardner or aspiring landscape architect. My backyard gets full mid-day sun, with one corner under a tree. I'm open to various arrangements and am interested in meeting my neighbors!

Bright Neighbor is coordinating meetings between neighbors, it's a great way for people to meet and learn from one another - especially for home based projects like growing food, building chicken coops, etc. It's a great resource sharing tool too
