Green Lents

Celebrate Earth Day with our neighbors at Malden Court Community Orchard! Saturday, April 18 from 9am to 12pm. Snacks, gloves, and tools are provided.

Friends of Green Lents, Solve and the Bureau of Environmental Services are joining us to help pick up trash around the floodplain. Come check on the trees we planted a few months ago on the floodplain!

We are also installing raised beds in the orchard and planting strawberries to add to our harvest each year!

Hope to see you there!

Help us raise funds to support our work - every amount is welcome! Green Lents is a volunteer run organization, and your generosity helps us keep the lights on and funds important projects in the community.

Our March Work Party at Malden Court Community Orchard was bursting with springtime energy. We pulled weeds, spread mulch, dug out and mulched a path to ease access to blueberries, cleared brambles, and connected with our neighbors. Thanks to all the amazing volunteers who showed up to care for the orchard!

Plants and trees are beginning to flower and bud!

Keep an eye out for our special April 18th Earth Month Work Party - we have a special project planned for the orchard and are collaborating with a few friends of Green Lents.

Growing season is upon us - Stop by the first plant swap of the season this Saturday 3/14, 10-12p! All are welcome to come share or take home free plant starts and seeds.

Plant trees with Green Lents and the City of Portland to care for West Lents on February 21! From 9am-12pm, we will plant trees in the West Lents Floodplain with the City Bureau of Environmental Services in addition to our normal Malden Court Community Orchard care.

This floodplain project restores 18 acres in the Johnson Creek floodplain, reconnects the creek to its historic floodplain, reduces flooding on private property, restores habitat for fish and wildlife, and improves water quality in the creek.

At Malden Court Community Orchard, we're focused on pruning trees, fighting back against weeds, picking up trash and preparing for a big raised bed garden project that starts in March.

Stick around after for a wassailing event at the orchard, where we will share cider and sing songs to help "wake up" the trees for spring!

Snacks, coffee, gloves, tools, and water are provided. Join your neighbors and help make Lents a greener, more resilient neighborhood!
