Portland Community Gardens offers free weekly gardening classes
at three community gardens around Portland, as well as one weeklong
day camp this summer. Classes begin first week of May (see details
below) and run through the end of October--students are welcome
to join at any time.
The program
is designed to teach organic gardening for children ages 6-12
in a manner that is interdisciplinary, experiential, and fun.
Students will learn to grow, harvest, and prepare their own food
and will engage in scientific and creative activities in the garden.
We also feature field trips and guest educators.
