POP Farming offering micro-sized salad garden

Micro-garden example

Do you think you don’t have room for a vegetable garden?  Think again.  POP Farming is now offering micro-sized salad garden installation for as little as $75 (depending on the size).  Your micro-garden can be as small as 2′x6′ in a sunny corner of your yard.  Installation includes recycled wood raised bed, plenty of compost, initial organic fertilizer application and seeds planted to get you started.  We encourage you to watch while we plant in order to learn the technique.  This is nothing fancy but it will produce abundant amounts of salad for you through the growing season.  We can also teach you how to keep growing well into early winter.  Just think… lettuce, radishes, baby carrots, scallions, spinach, arugula and more all season long.  With POP’s advice and your appetite for fresh salad you can see return on your investment by the end of this season.  Do you want to dip your toes in what seems like the ocean of knowledge needed for growing vegetables?  Start with the micro-sized salad garden.

The Scoop

Willamette Week picks up on Portland's city hall food garden.

Last week the Willamette Week picked up on POP Farming’s efforts to help out on the Portland city hall food garden.    “It was great fun being able to work with so many dedicated volunteers who have spent months planning this effort.” Said Dan Bravin of POP Farming.  POP along with many other volunteers were able to transform the lawn in to an edible landscape in just a few days.All of the produce will be donated to Loaves and Fishes.  The OSU Extension Master Gardener Program will be involved in the ongoing up keep of the garden.  There are too many people to mention, but here are af few of the many contributors to the project:

Dave Barmon and Mark Parisien of Fiddlehead Landscapes LLC, Mary Bedard of Portland’s Food Policy Council,  Steve Cohen of the City of Portland’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainablility …and many, many more.

Thanks everyone!  POP Farming couldn’t be more honored to be invited to work with such wonderful and dedicated people.
