Looking at the end of another summer and what a summer it has been! The garden has been growing like crazy as has the support that we have seen.
Our House ‘s resident Therapeutic Garden Director planted some seeds and reaped the bounty of a new position at the Multnomah County HIV Clinic; she was also accepted to Portland State for the Master’s in Public Health Program starting in September. Her past years of working in the garden has helped establish the program that it is now which includes a reference manual on how and when what needs to be planted. She also was instrumental in getting volunteers, staff, residents and clients involved with weekly harvests and helping teach people the benefits of outside gardening.
Though we have said “good-bye” to our resident green thumb fear not as we have “hired” a volunteer who has just as much passion. He has helped take over the helm and continued the great work that was started. The residents / clients continue to thrive as we start to get ready for fall planting and cleaning of the summer bounty.
