The Learning Gardens Laboratory (LGL) is a 12-acre garden education site located in Southeast Portland that provides K-12, university students and community members hands-on and place-based education in sustainable gardening, healthy nutrition, and permaculture. Education at LGL supports improved academic achievement, leadership development, and the development of sustainable local food systems. Established in 2005, LGL exists as a unique partnership between Portland State University, Portland Public Schools, Portland Parks and Recreation, and Oregon State University Extension Service.

What we do:
- Garden-based education with Lane Middle School students
- Courses and workshops for PK-12 educators about how to create garden-based sustainability curriculum
- Service-learning capstone courses with over 100 Portland State University students each year.
- Digital story telling projects with PSU freshmen as part of a year long Freshman Inquiry course
- Hands-on gardening and sustainable living skills with local neighbors in the Lane Family Garden and the OSU Master Gardener Demonstration Garden
- Community Farm Stand: SE 60th each Wednesday (June-Oct) from 3:30-6:30 for fresh produce, grown with love at LGL
- Community events open to everyone (Harvest Festival in October and Earth Day Festival in April)
