Community Garden Project

It may seem strange to be thinking about a community garden when there is still snow and ice on the ground. Join your neighbors in planning the first community garden in the inner NW area.

Plans call for an innovative urban community garden on NW 16th between Johnson and Kearney in partnership with the Northwest District Association and Pearl District's project to improve the connections between the two neighborhoods.

The ZCC community garden project planning committee meets monthly to organize for a late spring/early summer opening.

Call for information.
