Newberg Center hires Learning Garden Coordinator
Posted by Melissa Aaberg
PCC Newberg Center has hired a Learning Garden Coordinator. Moonrose Doherty will be implementing the third phase of the Garden’s master plan, organizing volunteer work parties, installing raised beds, and continuing completion of the cob shed. She is enthused about to get students, staff, and faculty involved and empowered in the continued creation and exploration of the learning garden and looks forward to meeting you all. Moonrose will play a crucial role in the continued development of the Learning Garden as she builds connections with faculty, staff, and students to integrate the garden into classroom activities, programs, and events at Newberg Center and leads development of the Garden in conjunction with input and involvement from the Newberg community at large and community stakeholders.
There are multiple opportunities to be involved in the garden, including cob shed building, pollinator related activities, and caring for the permaculture portion of the garden that features berries, fruit trees, and other edibles and medicinals. Join Newberg Center in making the garden a beautiful community space and active learning lab, that will also be a food producing garden, providing wildlife and pollinator habitat, and serving as a tangible example of sustainable food systems.
