As a gardener, you will:
- Share a garden bed with another family. Each plot is approx 4’x 6’. Plots are open to all neighbourhood residents. Priority is given to gardeners who have had a plot the previous year, but some plots usually become available each year.
- Commit to planting within 2-3 weeks of being assigned your plot and take care of it during the growing season. Commit to taking care of the compost, garbage and keeping the common areas of the garden neat, along with other gardeners.
- Learn new things about gardening, food preservation, composting, and maybe practice a new language! You will be invited to workshops, fun events, and work-parties where you can get to know other gardeners and become part of a garden community.
