A Rocha Canada has launched our first ever Community Garden Network in hopes of connecting more people to gardens in their neighbourhoods! This network will give gardeners, info-seekers, and volunteers the chance to publicize a garden, learn about best gardening practices and connect with a local garden project.  Tending a garden is a great way to care for creation, help those less fortunate, build friendships and simply have fun.  Community gardens supply fresh organic produce.

There are already 15 gardens in the network.  Across Canada, community gardeners in churches, neighbourhoods and schools are keen to connect with other gardeners, gain more volunteer support and learn how to grow tasty food and beautiful flowers.

Over the next couple of months, A Rocha will continue to consult with our in-house experts and engage with those who are part of the network.  We hope to expand the resources, the number of gardens and our systems for networking.  Look forward to increased activity on our network as more gardens join and more people connect with gardens and gardeners.

If the network interests you, please do participate by:

1. Profiling your garden in the network.

2. Sharing your stories and resources.

3. Volunteering with a garden in your neighbourhood.

4. Chatting about starting your own community garden.
