Garden Mentors work one-on-one with a home gardener, providing support and guidance with garden care, planning, planting, problem-solving, maintenance, composting, and winterization. We are looking for both English and Spanish speaking volunteers. Schedule flexible. July & August: 5+ hours total.
RSVP for an Orientation: February 27th.

About the Organization
To get at the root of hunger we build organic vegetable gardens in backyards, front yards, side yards and even balconies. We support limited-income households for three years with seeds, plants, classes, mentors and more. Our Lettuce Grow program brings garden education to inmates in correctional facilities and our Youth Grow after-school garden clubs grow the next generation of veggie eaters. Let’s increase fresh food access in Portland, join us.
