Sabin Community OrchardThe Sabin Community Orchard (SCOrch) is located on a sloped public right-of-way at NE Mason Street between NE 18th and 19th Avenues. SCOrch was established in February 2010 as a collaborative partnership between Portland Fruit Tree Project and Sabin Community Association. The volunteer-maintained orchard is now home to thirty fruit trees and dozens of edible understory plants.
SCOrch stewards and volunteers gather for monthly work-and-learn sessions to perform orchard maintenance, including weeding, pruning, shoring up paths, and more. We're always looking for new faces, so please check out the upcoming work-and-learn sessions below! 2018 Sabin Orchard Monthly Work SessionsFor details on the work-and-learn sessions and updated information, please see the Sabin Community Association Facebook events page.
