Plant a Row for the Hungry

Farmington Gardens is a supporter of Sunshine Pantry and the Oregon Food Bank.

We are a drop off site for all extra harvests of fruits and vegetables. Collecting hundreds of pounds each season that are picked and distributed by the wonderful volunteers at Sunshine Pantry. All of our extra vegetable starts are picked up by the Oregon Food Bank and given to families interested in growing their own gardens.

No one should ever go hungry!

Viking House

Since 1975 Forest Grove High School students have built a house from the ground up each year. These homes are original and truly amazing. They are known for their classic details, quality workmanship, and energy efficiency that exceed industry standards.

It has been such an honor for Farmington Gardens to be a part of the landscaping end of this project for the last few years.

April Garden Tips

It’s the moment we have been waiting for! Get those cool season veggies in the garden!
Prune and shape spring blooming shrubs after blooms are spent.
Great time to cut back overgrown, or spent evergreen grasses.
Now is the time to start fertilizing your lawn.
Slugs are on the rise this time of year, make sure to clean up their hiding areas and bait if necessary.
Spray apples and pears for scab when buds appear, if it was a large problem in previous years.
