SPECIAL EVENTS
Community Garden Plots • May 1-Nov. 1 • $30/$36 NR Grow local and eat fresh! The Oregon Park District is partnering with the Oregon Transition Program to manage the Community Garden in 2022. Twelve Community Garden plots are available to rent each spring. The raised beds are 4’x8’ and will be available on a first-come first-served basis. There is also a bed available designed for physically challenged or handicapped individuals. The plots are conveniently located at Veterans Park on South 10th Street in Oregon. The plots offer both residents and non-residents the opportunity to produce fruits, veggies, herbs, flowers and more at the community garden, spend time outdoors, and share gardening knowledge and skills with others. Weeding of your beds is complimentary with your fee. Students will keep your bed clear of weeds all season long. The OHS Transition Program will be growing items at the garden to benefit their programs and sell at the River's Edge Market. All fees will be donated 100% to the OHS Transition Team. Excess produce can be donated to Lifeline Food Pantry.
