While in Portland, we attended the re-dedication of Portland’s Better Together Garden outside City Hall. Tended to by dedicated volunteers, the garden provides fresh produce used by the nonprofit organization, Loaves & Fishes to feed seniors in their Meals On Wheels program – and is an important symbol of Portland’s commitment to sustainability.
Only a handful of cities in the U.S. have local gardens. An effort is underway in NYC for a garden at City Hall – you can sign the petition here for a People’s Garden in NYC. If you don’t live in NY, what about where you live – will your city be next to plant a garden?
