Growing Gardens

Portland, Oregon, Portland, OR

Opportunities:

“By bringing hands-on garden-based classes and workshops to incarcerated adult and Juvenile students, we create positive experiences which can aid existing health outcomes and support successful reentry into society.”

“The Youth Grow program collaborates with twelve Portland public schools to provide learning gardens, hands-on education opportunities, and comprehensive lesson plans in both English and Spanish.”

“Growing Gardens’ Home Gardens Program is a three-year program that is free to Portland residents with limited resources. We provide a garden installation, plant seeds and starts, compost, tools and educational workshops. We match up beginning gardeners with more experienced gardeners (“Garden Advisors”) to provide one-on-one mentoring throughout the season.”

They also offer garden consultations.
