How do educational gardens help a community?

No one is ever too old to learn something new, to experience nature or help your neighbour. Community gardens are an engaging and dynamic way to do just that!

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.

FLEXIBLE CODE

Experiences in nature and participation in gardening has been shown to positively impact a persons mental health.

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Gardening can be vigorous work! Bend, digging, pruning and harvesting are all great ways to do some physical activity.

CONNECTION

Gardens are a great place to make new friends and strengthen your connections with nature.

Prospective garden design

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!
