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.
Our volunteers brought the Master Gardener class inside prison walls this year, graduating 17 inmates in our pilot year with this. Next year we will be working with ten facilities.
