Under the scorching sun, Heriberto Nogales waters Japanese Maple saplings on a rented half-acre lot just off the Tualatin Valley Highway.
It can be tough going for an immigrant with little capital and English skills. There are days when sheer determination pushes Nogales to graft plants and fix rickety greenhouses.
A new program may help. Adelante Empresas, launched this spring by Forest Grove nonprofit Adelante Mujeres, is teaching Nogales and half a dozen other Washington County Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs to overcome barriers and develop skills to start or improve their small businesses. It also encourages environmentally sustainable businesses.

This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.
