Portland’s Leach Botanical Garden faces closure after losing city funding, cutting staff, hours, and programs.
The Leach Botanical Garden in Portland faces closure after losing $350,000 in city funding, creating a $450,000 budget gap.
Starting Feb. 22, it will cut 11 staff members, reduce hours to 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends, and cut public programming by 90%.
The nonprofit needs $50,000 monthly for five months to restore operations.
Though the city’s support was temporary, intended to transition the garden to financial independence, the loss has jeopardized its future.
The 17-acre garden, open since 1983, serves as a vital green space in an underserved area.
