Garden Swaps
Tool Library at 9215 SE Ramona St.
10 a.m. to noon
Garden swaps occur the second Saturday of each month from March through October, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Tool Library. A huge thanks to Portland Nursery who often offers extras and discounts so there is plenty to offer.
Come by to share the abundance of your garden or swap with a neighbor who may have extras. Nothing to share? No worries — this is all about connecting and cultivating! Come by to see what they have!

5431 NE 20th Ave, Portland, OR 97211, USA
At the next Repair Café volunteers will be fixing outdoor gear, small appliances, garments and bikes as well as sharpening knives and tools.
Please use the link below to let Repair PDX know what you plan to bring. This is not a reservation system, since they work on a first-come, first-served basis. It helps them know what's coming and bring the right tools and parts!
Just a reminder, multiple items are OK, although fixers will only work on one item during each person's turn (then it's fine to get back in line). Walk-ins also are welcome!
Please email Lauren at RepairPDX@gmail.com with any questions.
The Free Clothing Exchange is ready for your clothing and books.
The North Portland Free Clothing Exchange is a free community event held monthly at the Kenton Church (in the loft) on North Lombard Street. Everyone is welcome. All sizes of Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s clothing will be exchanged.
There is no requirement that you donate to take part in the exchange.
Be sure to check out the bookshelf for some good reads while you are shopping. We exchange books too! Bring your books for all ages that are in good condition and that you’d be proud to share…and take a few new stories home with you. As with the clothing, no donation is required in order to receive.
Learn how it works before attending. These events need volunteers too!
Darning Workshop, June 19 from 6-8 p.m. @ Leaven (sunroom)
Darning is a kind of mending. Mending is something we can all do, saving clothes from the landfill and healing our hearts in the process.
Mending is a meditative, slow process that improves with practice.
Sivia will teach several methods during this workshop that you can use right away to start darning your socks, sweaters, and other knitwear.
These darning techniques can also be used for mending other garments. Garments to practice on will be provided, but PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN ITEMS to work on if you have something at home you'd like to learn to darn.

Each ticket grants entry for one person at both gardens. Kids 12 & under get in free.
Each garden will be filled with garden & outdoor art for sale, crafted by over 20 local artists from at least 80% reclaimed & recycled materials.
The event will be held rain or shine. Please check the weather & dress accordingly.
We love your pets, but ask that you do not bring them inside the gardens. Service animals only.
Wander the neighborhood & make a day of it with family & friends!
Our Salvage Sale is the last stop for bikes and parts to have another chance at being reused before getting recycled. You'll find rough project frames, scrap parts and more. This is a great place to look for scrap metal for sculptures, garden art, craft projects, welding practice, or filling your parts bins with nuts and bolts.
If the word salvage doesn't say it clearly enough, everything for sale is CHEAP. We want to see it get used!
The Salvage Sale is every Sunday at the CCC Annex!
