Work Party w/ Cultivating Community @ Boyd St Community Garden

Our first summer work party is kicking off with Cultivating Community at the Boyd Street Community Garden! The Boyd Street Garden is an AMAZING space featuring personal and communal garden beds, public-pick fruit trees, a demonstration garden for students, and more. It provides food for dozens of Portland-area residents and it an incredible example of what community-level food growing projects can look like. We are excited to be back outside, together, getting our hands dirty!
