PSU Researcher Seeks Black Community Gardeners for Study

A graduate student from Portland State University is conducting research on Portland’s community gardens, specifically the experience of Black, African, and African American gardeners in the city’s community gardens program.

David “Doc” Billings is interested in speaking with any Black, African, or African American gardeners about their experiences in Portland's community gardens, and ideally interviewing them at the garden or a location of their choice.

In return for their time, Billings is offering a cash incentive or help in their garden plot. Interested gardeners should contact him at DRB3@pdx.edu or (503) 725-8447.
