Portland Yard Sharing - What is Yard Sharing?

I see yard sharing as resource sharing. Many people have become aware that your yard can be much more than grass and there are simple things that make a difference. Yard Sharing is a way for the community to empower itself, for people to grow.

Yard sharing is a connection. It’s a person who owns a home and has space for a garden giving up some of that space to another person who has time to create a garden.
In return the homeowner can get a share of the food the garden produces.

Excess food that both the Gardner and property owner cannot consume can be donated.
