Harvest in the Hood Sat. Oct. 17 Noon to 3pm

Celebrate Soil!

The 68th UN General Assembly declared 2015 the International Year of Soils.

One of the objectives of this initiative is to educate the public about the importance of soil, and we have a number of opportunities to do just that!

Please join us at one of the upcoming community events to learn about healthy soil for your lawn, garden, family, and health.

Soil is where food begins, is teaming with life, and provides the foundation for our playgrounds, forests, meadows, and marshes.

“The promotion of sustainable soil and land management is central to ensuring a productive food system, improved rural livelihoods, and a healthy environment.”

Harvest in the HOOD
SATURDAY, OCT. 17, NOON – 3 PM
ROSEMONT NEIGHBORHOOD, PORTLAND

Rosemont Market and the Rosemont Neighborhood Association are coordinating the 3rd annual Harvest in the Hood, a good old fashioned neighborhood block party to celebrate autumn, local business, and community.

Enjoy live music, local food, kids’ activities, and much more with your friends and neighbors.

The District will be on hand to talk about building healthy soil to grow a healthy lawn. Stop by to say hello!

“The nation that destroys its soil,
destroys itself. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
