Community Garden Now in the Gulch
This summer why not grow some food for homeless programs, including the Peace house weekly meal at Sunnyside United Methodist Church in SE and for yourself, as well?
Linda McDowell, working with our neighbors American Property Management, has set up a fenced garden plot with almost 30 raised beds behind the houses at NE 25th and Multnomah.
Last year the group grew tomatoes broccoli beans peas zucchini carrots cucumbers to contribute to the homeless project. And they’re fortunate to have their own beehive for honey.
The community planting beds cost $40 for the season and include water. People working on the community garden can get additional space to grow their own food. All money goes to the upkeep and expansion of the garden.
The garden is generally open during the day and is behind gate. Since the garden is directly behind some homes, the group requests, no dogs or very young children while gardening.
Come join us tomorrow, Saturday March 19th at 10:00 a.m.
