Get Out and Garden! (age 10+) *CCD 2014*
Join over 1,900 volunteers for Comcast Cares Day 2014!
Portland Community Gardens provides garden space and educational events within Portland's neighborhoods. Each month we are working in the common areas of a local garden -- laying paths, weeding, mulching, removing invasive species, pruning, building beds, planting, and more, depending on the needs at each month's garden.
Please dress for the weather, bring garden/work gloves if you have them, and wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. It is also a good idea to bring a water bottle, as not all gardens have drinking water readily available on site.
The City of Portland Community Garden program has provided gardening opportunities for the physical and social benefit of the people and neighborhoods of Portland since 1975. There are 50 community gardens located throughout the city, developed and operated by volunteers and Portland Parks and Recreation staff.
