Eating brunch on the bridge at PDX Bridge Festival (Brighton West)
By Brighton West
Friends of Trees always practices “Right Tree-Right Place” when we plant. Usually that means large trees in large spaces, small trees in small spaces, short trees under primary power lines.
But last Saturday it meant trees on the Hawthorne Bridge.
PDX Bridge Festival organizers worked with Friends of Trees, JB Instant Lawn, and Whole Foods Market to turn the Hawthorne Bridge green to celebrate the completion of the first annual PDX Bridge Festival. That meant 25,000 square feet of lawn, a couple dozen trees, picnic tables, and Portland’s famous food carts.
Learn how you can plant the right tree in the right place.
