Grand Opening of the Wilsonville Community Garden Held Last Weekend

Last weekend, the City of Wilsonville, Oregon hosted the Grand Opening of the Wilsonville Community Garden, which is dedicated space at the end of Kolbe and Schroeder Lanes in the heart of the city. Individual plots in the Community Garden are now available for Wilsonville residents to plant their own gardens.

There are 32 garden plots and 8 raised beds available in the Wilsonville Community Garden. Plot reservation fees range from $12 to $16 for raised beds. Gardeners are asked to maintain their plots or raised beds regularly. Plots that go unattended (i.e. overgrown weeds, unharvested, etc.) for more than two weeks may be reassigned. Gardeners must also care for half of the path surrounding his or her plot. The Community Garden requires only organic gardening. No insecticides or herbicides may be used. Rotenone, pyrethin and Safe Soap are allowed if used as directed.

Parking is limited at the Wilsonville Community Garden, so visitors are encouraged to park at the Wilsonville Community Center, located at 7965 SW Wilsonville Road. Visitors can access the garden from the Community Center by crossing Wilsonville Road at the crosswalk of Kolbe Lane, then walk down Kolbe Lane to the Community Garden.

Award-winning master planner and developer of Wilsonville’s Villebois neighborhood, Costa Pacific Homes, donated raised beds to the Wilsonville Community Garden.
