Grow Green!

Residents of the tricounty Portland metropolitan region are welcome to join in fun, free, hands-on learning opportunities with Metro's natural gardening programs.

Come learn about Organic Soils and Compost at our Natural Techniques Demonstration Garden at SE 57th and SE Cooper in Portland on Saturday, April 11 at 10 a.m., and on May 9 about Growing Your Own Organic Summer Veggies. Each month a new organic gardening topic will be explored and it's free!

This year's 11th annual Gardens of Natural Delights tours will feature numerous gardens with incredible edibles. Registration is now open for the Washington County tour set for May 3. This tour features three amazingly beautiful, all-organic home gardens and a great public demonstration garden.
