Growing Food Gardens

Purpose: To increase the amount of food gardens and production of fresh local produce on the North Shore.

With Growing Food Gardens volunteer gardeners cultivate gardens of people who have unused garden space and local residents who have gardens grow extra produce to make harvest donations to the EGP.   The benefits of this program are breaking down social isolation for gardeners who have difficulty gardening, connecting local volunteers with their neighbourhoods and the urban environment, and teaching volunteers and new garden owners how to grow a food garden.
