Sliding Scale Pricing

I offer a sliding scale pricing to make my services accessible to everyone, regardless of income level. This approach invites us to reflect on our privileges and share resources, fostering greater access for all.

I understand financial realities can be complex, so don’t stress. Simply choose the option that best aligns with your situation—no proof of income required.

This model is a work in progress, evolving as I do. Your input is welcome—feel free to reach out with questions or suggestions.

Base Pricing — $40/hr

Base Pricing is my standard rate. This pricing sustains my sliding scale system, making my services accessible to more people.

If you have the resources to afford recreational travel, dining, or other similar self-care expenses, this pricing level is for you. Thank you for choosing to invest in your garden while supporting community accessibility!

Relief Pricing — $20/hr

This rate is for clients who normally pay Base Pricing but are experiencing an extended loss of income.

If you’re cutting back on nonessential expenses yet still have some financial flexibility, this option is meant to help you continue receiving garden care.

Community Care Pricing — Free

Community Care pricing is available to residents with a generational connection to the neighborhoods that are part of Albina.

If you were born here, raised here, or have lived in this community all of your life, this option is for you. It is offered, regardless of ability to pay more.

Land Acknowledgement

I live on stolen land once home to village sites of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molella, and many other tribes.

I also live on a gentrified plot of land in North Portland that is part of Albina, the center of Portland's African American population since the late 1900s.

It is because of the efforts of those before me I am able to care for plants and grow food on this land responsibly and with intention.

Harm-Reduction Capitalism

Capitalism isn't broken, it is keeping certain people from getting ahead just as intended.

In order to sustainably provide fresh, local produce free of charge to others, I have to participate in this system to financially support myself.
