Gardens Harvest

Wisdom Gardens is featured in the latest issue of Edible Portland magazine. Executive Director Rose High Bear discusses the vision for our garden, and why it is important for cultural resiliency and our local Native communities: “Get your hands dirty, reconnect with the earth. Because no matter where you are on Mother Earth, you are at home. She’s our oldest grandmother. And this is where we need to reconnect.” Visit http://edibleportland.com/2013/03/powerful-medicine/ to read more.
