Pollinator Garden & Native Plants
Wayside maintains a raised bed garden at its Walton Street facility to grow fresh vegetables and herbs for use in its community kitchen. Volunteers help maintain the garden throughout the growing season. Our garden is part of the Maine Harvest for Hunger Network. In addition to our 7 raised beds, we also maintain a Pollinator Garden and are members of the Portland Pollinator Partnership.
Wayside’s Pollinator Garden
“All I can say is Wow! Wayside rocks. Your contribution to our dinner last night was truly amazing. We had well over three hundred people, and for the first time ever we were able to feed everyone who came (without running out for emergency pizzas) and give them seconds. The food was plentiful (!) delicious and beautifully presented. Please extend our gratitude and appreciation to your entire team.”
