1) Overlook Neighborhood Association general meeting (March 17)
Join your neighbors to talk about what’s going on in Overlook at the monthly general meeting. Topics on the agenda include an overview of the I-5 project from ODOT and an update on the heritage tree that recently fell in Madrona Park.
Overlook Neighborhood Association meeting
Tuesday, March 17, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Kaiser Town Hall (3704 N Interstate Ave., across from Overlook Park)
2) Sustainable Overlook edible plant sale
Create an abundant food forest in your yard or just add a few fun fruit and berry bushes to your landscape. Resilience Design Landscaping is holding a pre-order plant sale with pick-up at the Sustainable Overlook Spring Gardening Fair. Order from a selection of hardy fruit trees, berry bushes and fruiting vines, plus veggie and herb starts and seeds. Offerings include apples, persimmons, blueberries, rhubarb, kiwi and much more. All the plants are locally grown (many right here in Overlook) and are organic and/or Salmon Safe Certified. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Sustainable Overlook’s neighborhood outreach projects and pesticide-free Arbor Lodge Park.
Order forms are available online. Pre-orders will be accepted through March 31.
Pick up your plant order on April 18 and check out our spring info fair in front of New American with natural gardening resources from Metro, co-sponsor North Portland Food Not Lawns and more.
3) New bike route through Kaiser Permanente
Bike riders headed to Mississippi Avenue and points east by crossing the Failing Street Bridge have a new route to reach it. Kaiser Permanente has generously constructed a bike path that connects the bridge to the parking lot and to Interstate Avenue at Overlook Drive, where a traffic light will facilitate crossing into the neighborhood. Check it out next time your there … perhaps for Tuesday’s OKNA meeting.
