Vue d'ensemble
3 plots are designated for community groups and the food bank.
In 2011 The Girl Guides of Canada joined our society and are gardening in a community group plot. Two other plots are communal and we are growing them for the food bank. 12 plots are for garden society members.
All 15 plots are in raised beds for better access for everyone.
