POP Farmer to till up Portland City Hall Lawn!

That’s right.  This Friday, May 1, you can find POP Farming’s Dan Bravin with his trusty tiller ripping out the lawn at Portland’s city hall.  Dan along with many others in the community have been given the “go ahead” to install a garden there.  We’re very excited to see that Portland has followed the example of Michelle Obama and her White House lawn garden.  No doubt this will encourage even more people to start their own vegetable gardens this year.

See you at city hall!

POP Farming to offer Seed Starting and Composting Workshops

Growing a vegetable garden.  Starting your own seeds to grow vegetables economically.  Building a composting system in your back yard to recycle all of your kitchen waste and to improve your soil without spending a fortune for delivered compost.  This may sound like a daunting task for many of you.  POP Farming can help.

Don’t spend another year fiddling around in the garden with mediocre results.  This is the time to start really understanding how to produce food for yourself and your family…and maybe your neighbors as well.  POP Farming will be offering recurring classes on seed starting and composting throughout the 2009 gardening season.  We will soon post our schedule for public workshops.  If you would like to be on our mailing list to get updates on when our workshops are occurring please drop us a note on our Contact Us page.

If you would like a personal, in-garden composting session, we can do that also.  Just let us know what you need.
