Description

Leach Botanical Garden in Southeast Portland is funded by the city's Portland Parks & Recreation and donations through Leach Garden Friends.

Leach Botanical Garden, a 17-acre public garden in Southeast Portland, said it is laying off half of its staff and has drastically cut its educational and cultural programs to avoid closure after the city of Portland decided not to renew a $350,000 subsidy, the nonprofit that manages the garden said Tuesday.
