Volunteer Days with Oregon Tilth

Even if you don't know much about gardening, this will be a great event. I'm hoping to work in a few of the dates so hopefully I will see you there. I did a GPS class project on Luscher Farm and I put together a webpage with some of the results.

Oregon Tilth's Organic Education Center (OEC) at Luscher Farm is in need of volunteer support in transitioning our gardens and program to sleep for the fall/winter. We will be having open volunteer days, complete with refreshments and fun activities for all (mulching, pruning, planting, harvesting, cloche building, and more!!), on Thursdays and Fridays through Oct. 15th. Please call the OEC at 503.638.0735 if you're interested and for additional information. Drop-ins are always welcome!

Special features of the fall fun include the phase one planting of our food forest garden and hedgerows! The food forest will include fourteen dwarf fruit and nut trees based on Robert Hart's ecological method of perennial food and habitat production. It will define and embellish the northern border of the Tilth demonstration garden.

Please get in touch if you're interested in lending a hand or two to help us close out a very successful and fruitful 2004 season. All ages are welcome, as are school groups, businesses, and other organizations interested in learning more about ecological agriculture.

Volunteer Days:
9/23, 24, & 30th 9am-5pm
10/1, 7, 8, 14 & 15th 9am-5pm
