Pollinators are essential to our food system, but most gardens aren’t designed with them in mind.

Join Slow Food Portland at Kindness Farm for a hands-on workshop focused on how to create and maintain a pollinator-friendly garden. This workshop is practical, grounded, and designed to give you skills you can actually use, whether you’re working with a backyard, raised beds, or a shared community space.

Led by the team at Kindness Farm, you’ll learn how to support pollinators, strengthen plant health, and build a more resilient growing space.

What you’ll learn:

• How to create and maintain a pollinator garden

• The role of pollinators and beneficial insects in a healthy food system

•  Planting strategies that support biodiversity and soil health

• How small garden decisions contribute to a larger ecological impact

What to expect:

• Hands-on learning at Kindness Farm

• A seed activity, with seeds to take home

• Time for questions and discussion

• A catered lunch featuring food from a local business

• A day on a farm, please come prepared for the weather in sturdy shoes and clothes that can get a bit of dirt on them.  

We ask those who are able to contribute a $30 donation. This helps cover the cost of the catered meal and supports Kindness Farm.

Kindness Farm is a regenerative, multicultural, queer-led nonprofit community farm in SE Portland, cultivating the flourishing and upliftment of our communities through healing, land-centered work, environmental and food-growing education, and access to fresh, nutritious food.
