The Lettuce Grow Garden Foundation had its beginnings in 2007-8, after a Portland State University class inside one correctional facility developed a goal of starting a garden to grow food for its kitchen. We took on the project as community volunteers. A year of conversation and correspondence with community partners and the head of the Department of Corrections resulted in our first garden in 2009.
