History
The Powell Butte Community Garden, located at Powell Butte Elementary School (formerly Wood Elementary School and Community Garden), was developed through a partnership between the Centennial School District and Portland Parks & Recreation. The partners converted 30,000 square feet of unused lawn into a community garden where students, school families, and community members can grow food. Funding for the garden came from East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, the Richard and Helen Phillips Charitable Fund, and the City of Portland.
