Ed Benedict Community Garden
4.7 (9)park
4.7 (9)A Southeast Portland hub for urban growers, pairing community plots and accessible raised beds with a shared orchard.
Description
Managed by Portland Parks & Recreation, this dedicated green space in the Lents neighborhood gives local residents room to grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers. First conceived in a 1994 park master plan, construction began in 2011 on an open-grass field just east of the Portland Memory Garden. On-site composting stations and tool sheds keep the setup grounded in practical urban agriculture and community connection.
