They’re located right here at Fishline.
(7 beds measure 10’ X 4’ and 3 beds @ 6’ X 4’ – plus a raspberry bed!)
Water, hoses, tools, seeds, compost and more are all provided.
A Garden Coordinator is on-call for any support you might need.

Hours are flexible!
Harvesting should be done during food bank hours, so freshness is preserved.
This is a great opportunity for youth groups, Scouts, church groups and EVERYONE.

Gardening classes and work parties! 
Learn and grow this season!


Join us for our first garden work party on Sunday March 10th at Noon.You will meet Allie B, our lead volunteer and lend a hand in cleaning up and refreshing the beds for spring.  It’s also the perfect opportunity for you to ask as many questions as you like about the details and commitment of working with the on-site garden beds. Please bring your own garden gloves and dress for the weather of the PNW.
