Get Down and Dirty and Village Gardens!

Hello Green House Friends,

I wanted to let you all know about a great opportunity to learn more about urban agriculture and food security in Portland. Village Gardens is a a 56,000 square foot urban agriculture program that uses sustainable organic gardening and farming to increase access to healthy food, improve economic opportunities and build unity with low-income residents of North Portland.
This Friday we need your help.

Our Sauvie Island farm needs some garden-loving. You can help by pulling weeds and doing various other farm projects, while also learning more about the ways in which gardening can unite communities..

Join us from 12:00 (noon)-4:00 pm
This Friday, June 6th
We could use as many as 15 people – maybe more!

The farm directions can be found at: http://www.metro-region.org/index.cfm/go/by.web/id/152 Volunteers would park in front of the picnic area and walk past the white house, through the orchard and to the green house on the LEFT.

Please call 971-344-4715 if you have questions

I hope to see you there!
-Laurel
