In cooperation with Adelante Mujeres, the Forest Grove Community Gardens provides an open, fertile space where people can rent 250 sq. ft. garden plots at its Victory Garden location to grow food, enjoy the outdoors, and commune with friends and neighbors to encourage a cooperative community spirit while lowering their grocery bills!
The City of Forest Grove donated use of the Victory Garden’s sunny, fertile, 1+ acre site which had been farmed by the Washington County Sheriff’s Department until 2008.
Volunteers with Forest Grove Community Gardens built a modern irrigation system, erected a fence around the site, and installed raised beds to provide easy access for handicapped gardeners. This year, volunteers are planning to lay pathways to facilitate better access to the raised bed areas.
The 2011 season of the Victory Garden is close at hand … and a few garden plots are still available and ready to be worked! So come on down and join the fun!
