Grow Portland

Middle schoolers worked hard to care for their garden with some BIG projects: moving tables, rebuilding beds, prepping a preschool pumpkin bed, and learning how to use a drill!

Our mason bee houses in the gardens are filling up as the bees pollinate the gardens and lay their eggs in our houses. We love being part of this life cycle and sharing it with students every year!

First graders in their pollination lesson! Favorite quote: "If we give bumblebees flowers, we can be friends!" 🐝🦋🌼 They are pictured here playing 'Waggle Dance Relay', planting spring seeds, and exploring the garden for signs of spring! 🌱
