There’s Marijuana Growing in Mills End Park

Portland’s resident tiny park has fully embraced 4/20.

A wee marijuana plant was spotted this morning in Mill Ends Park, poking up among the the colorful pansies currently blooming in the World’s Smallest Park. An anonymous tipster emailed us about the plant around 10:30 am, and when we went to check it out ourselves at noon, it was still standing tall.

Mill Ends, which sits in the middle of SW Natio near its intersection with SW Taylor, is no stranger to solidarity. And for some delightful reason, I specifically have written about it a lot. In 2011, during the heyday of Occupy Portland, I wrote about someone setting up a tiny campsite with protest signs to officially Occupy Mill Ends.

Dope!
