NB Community Harvest Gardens is here to help!
Our Mission & Objectives
NB Community Harvest Gardens will provide inclusive space for all citizens to garden together within the City of Fredericton. We will create a shared vision to work collaboratively and to cultivate a place for individuals, families and friends to learn about and to experience the rewards of gardening – “to grow food, grow minds and grow community”
Grow
Food
“To enrich the soil and preserve the land through hands-on responsible gardening practices.”
Find appropriate, easily accessible gardening plots for interested citizens and groups
Inclusive infrastructure – raised beds, wide walking paths, etc.
Provide tools and resources, fenced in areas, water access, sheds
Grow
Minds
“To teach each other sustainable gardening techniques.”
A garden space to share and learn new skills through informal interaction in the garden, formal workshops & training days and other teaching opportunities
A safe space where participants can grow with their crops while developing a sense of identity, self-esteem and respect for self, others, and the land
Encourage participation of our at-risk population to discover and blend our strengths, our differences and our diversities
Grow Community
“To encourage the building of cooperation and friendships”
Bring people together through a common meeting area, social interaction & networking and planned community activities
Partner with government, business, schools, non-profit groups and citizens to find sponsors & local donors
Facilitate access to local food for all participating citizens and promote sharing of food with the food bank, soup kitchen, friends and neighbours
Create a more resilient community by promoting health and wellness though fresh foods, exercise and a sense of belonging
