Grow Portland posted:

Our Seed Club is offering affordable, organic veggie seeds in your neighborhood on March 28th! The catch? We’ve bought over 60 varieties of seeds in bulk, so we need your help to pack them into individual envelopes for home gardeners.

Sign-up in advance to join us at the Lucky Lab Tap Room (1700 N Killingsworth) on March 28th from 7-8:30 pm. Gardeners come help us to pack seeds, socialize, and take home 15 packets of their own (for a small membership fee). See our website for details.

This is a Little Free Library in Overlook. On Longview Ave, just North of Shaver. Take a book, share a book. Enjoy!

Stephanie L posted about our favorite stuff, free stuff:

I have lots of free bark dust in my driveway. Come get it! Makes great garden paths, bring a truck or wheelbarrow. 41XX N. Massachusetts ave near fire on the Mountain buffalo wings.
