The Ariadne Garden

There is a fantastic community garden in our neighborhood. The Ariadne Garden is located on a site in NE Portland where 2 houses burned down years ago. Farmed and tended by volunteers, it is a neighborhood haven...thriving and buzzing with activity all spring and summer. The harvests include yummy vegetables and beautiful flowers. The fruits of the labor are: donated to elderly residents of the area, sold to help defray costs (Compost! Water bill!), and the remainder is divided between the workers.







“How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.”
~Alexander Smith
Scottish poet
