Dig Into Portland's Planting Seeds Program

Have you ever wanted to learn how to grow your own food but live in an urban area? Dig into the “urban permaculture” movement by taking part in the Planting Seeds pilot program in Portland.

Club Wyndham Portland Waterfront Park has teamed up with master regenerative farmer, Daniel Campbell, to teach owners and resort guests how to live more holistically and reduce waste by embracing their surrounding ecosystems to grow their own food, at scale — no matter where it is they call home.

The Experience

As a complimentary, on-property experience, travelers are invited to join one of Campbell’s free monthly workshops, where they will learn everything from the basics of soil health and growing organic food in cities, to DIY fruit pruning and pickling, to how to choose the right vegetable species for your climate — all from the convenience of the resort’s outdoor patio.

Do I need to bring anything with me?
Do I need to wear anything in particular?

The Planting Seeds educational workshops take place on the resort patio. Participants are encouraged to dress for weather, as the patio is outdoors. Participants may also get their hands dirty with some interactive lessons, so it is recommended to wear comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting a little dirt on.
Is this program available at any other resorts?

At this time, the program is only available at Club Wyndham and WorldMark Portland Waterfront Park. Putting roots down in the city of Portland, the goal is to expand this educational program to other urban destinations across the Wyndham Destinations portfolio of 20+ metropolitan-based properties in the future.
