Garden Update

Hi folks. Ian here from Marion-Polk Food Share. Sally is having some computer difficulties and asked me to login to the garden account and send out this announcement:

We have a group of students from Willamette that will be installing the basic raised beds and filling them with soil on Saturday, October 20th, 10am-12pm. All are welcome to come lend a hand.

Ingrid from Marion-Polk Food Share will be there to supervise the volunteers. Contact her at 503-798-0457 or ievjenelias@marionpolkfoodshare.org with any questions.

Please come if you can and invite your neighbors! If you can, bring wheelbarrows, shovels and/or power drills.

This is only the first bit of building, and there will be more opportunities to help with the construction. At this event, we will install 15 4x8 beds as laid out on the design.

Thanks, Ian

Sunnyslope Community Garden Site Plan

This is the site plan as envisioned by the amazing Carlson Veit Architects PC who kindly donated their time and expertise to bring this project to life.

At the bottom of the image you can see Libery Rd and that's Mize Rd there on the left. 

Here's the bird's eye view (minus the drawings):

What do you think? Pretty sweet, huh? :)

Welcome!

We know there's not much to see here right now, but things are moving along nicely for our lovely little community garden!

On October 20th we'll actually start construction of the beds! A fraternity from Willamette University has volunteered to help build the beds and fill them with soil. We'll be sure to post some pictures just as soon as we can!

Thanks for checking in! Please be sure to follow our posts on our Facebook page!

Cheers. :)
