Member since: May 08 | Years gardening: 8 Organic gardener

I live in SW Portland with my wife and 2 year old son and 3 year old daughter. We have almost a half acre of land and we love to garden. We have a large organic vegetable garden, an alpine garden, a kind of japanese courtyard, an ericaceae garden, an eco-friendly meadow style lawn with fruit trees and a large back yard which is done in a Japanese garden style using exclusively Oregon native plants.

We would love to meet other families with shared interests in gardening, hiking, farmer’s markets, camping, BBQ, good food and just general soaking up the moss and drizzle and occassional sunshine in Portland.
