Just slight southwest of OSU lies Bruce Starker Arts Park. This park has it's own community garden that is ran by Master Gardener's. The Master Gardeners have a program set up through OSU where they educate Oregonians about the art of growing and caring for your plants. Pictured here is Master Gardener and soon to be President Kathi Tucker, as she gets ready to dump leaf mulch on the dead crops. Or as they like to call it " putting the garden to bed." They do this because it helps keep the rain out, keeps weeds from growing, and helps feed the soil for better crops the following summer.

At the northwest end of Dr.Martin Luther Jr. park, you can find this little gem. A bus stop at the corner of Ponderosa and Deer Run that has painted on the side a quote from the 1980's movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
