Hope Grows Here is a mentor-supported gardening, nutrition education, and wellness study for cancer survivors adapted from the evidence-based Harvest for Health intervention.

Master Gardener mentors are paired with cancer survivors to provide support as survivors learn to grow and tend vegetable gardens together at community gardens (with an option for home gardening).

Hope Grows Here is made possible through the Moore Family Center’s partnerships with the Linus Pauling Institute, Samaritan Cancer Resource Centers, OSU Extension Master Gardener Programs of Linn and Benton Counties, Lupe’s Garden, Porter Park Community Garden.

2025 update

Hope Grows Here is not currently running for the 2025 growing season. We are seeking funding to continue the program.

We wish to thank the Allen Foundation and the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Community Partnership Program for providing previous support!
