Our mission is to foster sustainable leadership and lifelong learning for people of all ages through garden-based education, reciprocal relationships with the land, and collaborative engagement in regenerative food systems. We offer educational workshops, provide volunteer opportunities, and grow fresh, high-quality produce while building healthy soils, relationships, & community. From May through October, LGL shares our abundance of veggies and herbs, grown and harvested with love, through weekly produce boxes. To pre-order your Harvest Share box click here. All proceeds directly support our programs. Educational Programs We provide experiential garden-based education to learners of all ages. Our programs include K-12 garden-based field trips, professional development opportunities for educators, community engaged learning projects with 100+ PSU students a year, and hands-on gardening and sustainable living skills with local community members. Volunteer Opportunities We could not function without the dedication, passion, & participation of our volunteers. We hold regular Volunteer Work Parties every first Saturday of the month from 10am to 3pm. We also offer seasonal volunteer hours during the week. Our Spring volunteer hours are Thursdays from 10am to 3pm. Reach out to Camila at camila@lglpdx.org with questions.
