ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
These garden will provide a safe place where the community can come and have hands on experiences with nature. By participating in the garden, or simply being curious as they walk by, community members will have the opportunity to learn what species are present in their region and how to grow healthy food.

Our Gardens
The solutions for an environmentally prosporous future and food system must incorporate sustainable and dynamic systems. Our gardens incorporate different methods and ways of conducting both sustainable food systems and supporting native species.
1. RAISED GARDENS
These gardens are elevated making them more easily accessible and less prone to pests. Crops will be planted following priniples of sustainable agriculture.
2,3. INGROUND GARDENS
These gardens will host species that cannot be easily grown in raised gardens. Crops will be planted following the principles of sustainable agriculture.
4. NATIVE BIODIVERSITY GARDENS
These gardens will host native wildflower species to Durham Region. Such plants are not only beautiful but also provide vital services to our native polinators!
