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.
