On Saturday a new resident across the street from the community garden asked me how to get a plot there. Many of my friends have also asked how to get a community garden plot in Portland, OR. Here's how I did it:
Look at the Portland Parks and Recreation site. They have a map of community gardens. Pick a few that are not too far away from you. Phone them or email them. Remember, community plots are like gold dust. Be prepared to wait. Unfortunately, no plots were available in my preferred gardens but they offered me a plot further away. It's manageable by bike (30 minutes), better by car. At least I'm gardening. I jumped at the chance.
