Located at the Corner of NE Fargo and N Williams Avenue.Fargo Forest Garden was depaved in 2008 and planting began Spring of 2009. This garden is a great urban runoff demo project with it’s rainwater containment system and flood detail. Permaculture principles are exemplified in the plantings of numerous fruit trees, berry shrubs and perennial vegetable guilds. An Audubon back yard bird habitat, this garden is perfect for wandering, sitting and reading, drawing and painting as well as bird watching. Most work involves keeping the garden looking nice for visitors and some planting and pruning. Non-intensive planting, intensive infra-structure work on occasion.Ref: https://urbanfarmcollective.org/gardens/fargo-forest-garden/

November 12, 2019) - With a little vision and a lot of help from community and City partners, Northeast Portland residents converted an underused patch of right-of-way into the Boise-Eliot Native Grove, a home for wildlife and a place to relax, learn, and play for people in the city. Boise Eliot Native GroveMany hands make light work! The Portland Bureau of Environmental Services provided native plants and educational art and signage. Portland Bureau of Transportation’s Spaces to Places Program provided the location for the grove on N Ivy St and N Gantenbein Ave. East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District and the Boise Neighborhood Association contributed native plants and mulch. The Xerces Society, Friends of Trees, Boise-Eliot-Humboldt Elementary, The Ivy School, and the Rebuilding Center all brought additional materials and volunteer labor to the partnership.The native grove features a variety of native plants and habitats for people and wildlife to enjoy. Narrow pathways wind through the lush vegetation, revealing the grove’s treasures: a mason bee hotel, interpretive signage describing the benefits of native plants, a gazebo with a six-sided bench constructed by the community with salvaged materials, and a living dome of Sitka and Pacific willow trees that beckons children and adults to crawl inside and explore.Community volunteers also maintain the plants throughout the year. They got a surprise this summer when a water line beneath the native grove burst, flooding the site and creating a sink hole in the middle of the willow dome. Working quickly, Environmental Services and the Portland Water Bureau collaborated with the volunteers to repair the pipe and to salvage and rebuild the willow dome. In time, the fast-growing willows will achieve their former height, re-creating the tunnel of vegetation and restoring some of the grove’s mystery.In the meantime, stop by the native grove to enjoy some time with nature in the city, and to cheer the newly re-planted willows on their way to recovery.Visit: N Ivy St and N Gantenbein Ave.Volunteer: Find out about tree plantings, and other community events as well as how we are improving watershed health from your neighborhood to the river.

For context, see the "Old Portland" house in the foreground, my City of Portland Residential Infill Project (RIP) testimony, and my Portland Metro Housing album.I'm generally a proponent of infill density in Portland, but I'm dismayed at how many of the completed projects are not street or sidewalk "friendly" (IMO). Do the current residents, or to-be residents, in this duplex actually sit out on their tiny front porches, while not shaded from the sun or rain, and wave to passersby?I could also go on about the cheap cladding materials that are frequently used, but that's another story.

The symbol now known internationally as the "peace symbol" or "peace sign", or alternatively as the nuclear disarmament symbol, or the CND symbol (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) originates as a symbol representing the threat of nuclear annihilation used in British anti-nuclear activism from 1958. It was widely adopted in the American anti-war movement in the 1960s and was re-interpreted as generically representing world peace. It was still used, however, in its original anti-nuclear context by activists opposing nuclear power, in the 1980s (although the Smiling Sun image (image here) ["Nuclear power? No thanks!]" predominated).Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_symbols
