Garden Work Days

 It is time to get our Community Garden ready for the growing season. We have two volunteer workdays scheduled each month. Please join us! While we work, Sarah or other gardeners, can answer your gardening questions and offer suggestions about what to plant and do in your own gardens. 

March 24, 10:00 - 12:00 We will work on weeding common areas/paths and clearing out abandoned garden plots for new gardeners. 

April 13, 10:00 - 12:00 We will work on getting the harvest donation garden plots ready for planting and work on weeding paths. 

April 27, 10:00 Garden Kick-Off Party! Come celebrate the garden and get ready for summer gardening. Everyone is invited. We will have refreshments, a plant and seed giveaway, and Sarah will give a short talk on how to set your garden up for success and then allow lots of time to answer your gardening questions. 

Other workdays this spring into summer will be spent spreading wood chips on our paths and replacing rotten wood plot edging. Check back for updates. 

NOTE: Workdays will be postponed if there is steady rain, the ground is frozen, or if there is extreme heat or poor air quality. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. 

Summer dreaming!

Getting ready for spring!

 Spring is just around the corner! It is time to start planning for the growing season. Registration for the 2023 growing season is open, go to the Rent a Garden page for more information and sign up via the RENT A GARDEN link on that page. Returning gardeners should register by February 1st. We will start assigning plots to new gardeners in mid-February, with preference to gardeners living in the Hector Campbell neighborhood.


Last year the Master Gardeners recorded monthly gardening webinars, the recordings are available here: Growing Oregon Gardeners: Level Up Series 2022
Topics range from seed starting to pest control - lots of great things to learn about over winter. 

Peas and cabbage from a few springs ago

Garden work days will start up in February, we will update the calendar soon.

Harvesting winter greens and making plans for spring

We are busy harvesting winter greens, sowing seeds for spring, and making plans for summer. The mild winter has worked in our favor, we have already donated 20 pounds of greens and herbs to Esther's Pantry this year!
Radicchio, fennel, and spigarello harvested from the Campbell Community Garden in late February.

FYI: Garden plots are all full for the year, anyone who registers now will be placed on the waiting list.
