Welcome to your beautiful Blooming B-street Learning Gardens
A community space to gather & grow
Blooming B-street Learning Garden (formerly B-street Farm) has served many functions over the years & continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many in our community. Years ago, it was the first home to the Forest Grove Community School (FGCS) while their current building was being finished. B-street was also the jumping off place for the Adelante Mujeres Agricultura Program. Countless students from Pacific University have gained hands-on experience in regenerative gardening, nature-based education, sustainable design, green and natural building, animal husbandry, bee keeping, & so much more. Students & teachers from FGCS, the Community Alternative Learning Center (CALC), Tom McCall's Roots & Shoots Club, and across the Forest Grove School District have enjoyed the many opportunities for field trips that provide real world applications of their school curriculum. B-street has hosted the Permaculture Convergence, sustainable living workshops, served as a gathering space for cyclists traveling across the state, as well as been a destination for many in the community to come & enjoy beautiful gardens. B-street has been, & continues to be, an invaluable resource in our community.
And now, the future of the site is uncertain and needs your help! We have assumed the property lease with the goal of reviving the site & reopening it to the community as a gathering place, a model outdoor learning space and demonstration site for regenerative gardening & sustainable living practices, and a seed library and co-op. With your support, B-street will bloom again as a place for all to gather, grow, and learn!
Your donation will help develop the following programs at the beautiful Blooming B-street Learning Garden:
