Park Place Gardens
The garden at Park Place is the largest garden of the group with approximately 18,000 square feet of space. It is located at 1500 32nd St. S. Each plot has enough space for a small family to have fresh veggies (and a few to spare) throughout the summer.
Greenhouse
The River City Harvest Greenhouse is located in the Cascade County Disaster and Emergency Services building on 1st Ave SW and 5th Street NW. Managed by Master Gardeners, it is used for continuing education, and produces fresh vegetables and herbs year round for local senior centers and Meals on Wheels.
Southside Gardens
The Southside Garden is located at 1801 Benefis Court, directly across from the Peak. Their mission is to improve the dietary intake of low income senior citizens over the age of 60, disabled young adults and disadvantaged children.
