Hello Everyone,
The National Geographic article and picture was a pleasant surprise. They
did not mention the name of our Portland Community Garden (one of 26), which
is called Adams Community Garden. The young man in the picture is the son of
one of our gardeners, who has grown up working and playing in the garden.
This site is the highest and coldest site in our city. It is ringed by
forest, and is the only garden that I know of that has suffered a landslide
(New Years Eve 1997)which covered 1/4th of the garden site. The garden has
recovered, and is a beautiful place. When you come to Portland, just give us
a call, and we can show you how to get to Adams Community Garden.

Hi, Adam.

I'm not sure which previous photo you refer to, but
there is an excellent article on gardening in the Vol.
181, No.5, May 1992 issue of NG, pages 52-81, by
William S. Ellis.  There is also a great article on
community gardening and its benefits by Margo Pfeiff
in Canadian Geographic, Jan/Feb 2001, pages 64-72.  I
used both as references (among several) for an article
on the benefits of urban greening, which I wrote last
November as part of a funding proposal for my
community greening project.  It is indeed wonderful to
see recognition of community gardening in such
prestigious publications.  I'll have to get my hands
on a copy of the latest NG.

Shade and Sweet Water,
Jeneva Storme
