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 WorldMark’s Planting Seeds pilot program in Portland.

WorldMark by Wyndham has teamed up with master regenerative farmer, Daniel Campbell, to teach owners and resort guests staying at WorldMark Portland Waterfront Park 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.

When available, travelers are invited to join Campbell’s free 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.

If a free workshop does not coincide with a guest’s stay, travelers can still visit the resort’s on-site garden and review complimentary educational resources available in the lobby.

How to book.

Owners can simply book a reservation at WorldMark Portland Waterfront Park that coincides with a Planting Seeds workshop and enjoy the on-site experience. Non-owners can visit ExtraHolidays.com to book a rental stay.
