Four Rivers Community Garden
The Snake River Chapter's project to create a community garden in Ontario.
A year after its initial kick-off, the Four Rivers Community Garden is operating successfully as a place for community members to come together, to provide families with a place to grow their own food and learn how to garden, and for addressing local hunger through donations of produce from the garden to the local food bank. The Snake River Chapter of Oregon Rural Action coordinates the garden in partnership with St Matthew's Episcopal Church, Southeast Oregon Regional Food Bank, and the local Ford Institute group. The garden is located at 773 S Oregon St in Ontario.
For more information on how you can get involved with the garden, or to start a community garden in your neighborhood, contact Nancy Gledhill at nancy@oregonrural.org or (541) 975-2411.
