COMMUNITY GARDENS
Get plants! Trade plants! Volunteer. Learn things. Get help from people who know best!
These groups often take your food and yard waste for compost (except for meats + dairy, used paper towels, and some other goods.) They also need volunteers to help with different types of gardening duties like soil management, weed pulling, picking fresh food, and more. Each garden has different needs, and needs change throughout the year.
Community gardens are an excellent way to get exercise, meet neighbours + form strong social ties, and have access to the freshest foods possible.
