Community Garden – COMING SOON SUMMER 2026
The Community Garden is a collaborative garden plot located at the Just Food Farm. The vegetables harvested from the garden help support our ability to distribute fresh, healthy food within the community while also creating meaningful volunteer opportunities for people of all ages. The garden promotes food security by providing vegetables and by encouraging sustainable practices such as composting and seed‑saving. Regular workshops and volunteer days offer hands‑on learning in horticulture, nutrition, and environmental stewardship. Beyond its practical benefits, the Community Garden strengthens community relationships and provides a welcoming outdoor space for relaxation, shared learning, and cultural exchange.
Our Community Development programs bring people together to build stronger, more connected neighbourhoods through inclusive opportunities for learning, leadership, and collaboration.
