A Place to Grow
A shared oasis where neighbors come together to nurture the earth and each other
Why a
Community
Garden?
Our Vision
We envision a community of growers supporting a year-round food co-op, offering food at lower prices than big grocery stores.
Our Mission
We will cultivate food security in the Digby area through pay-what-you-can food programs, education and learning, and the development of a strong network among local organizations supporting families and people in need.
Ways to Get Involved
Goals for the 2025 Growing Season
Increase Productivity
Grow enough produce to supply a weekly
food delivery program ($3 bags of produce).
We have created a gardening plan that aims to:
-
Increase soil/garden productivity through a composting and organic fertilizing program.
-
Utilize succession planting & intercropping.
-
Connect with local growers for produce donations.
Garden Tools & Resources
Secure garden supplies such as seeds, woodchips, and marketing materials, including signs and a website.
Hired Employees
Continue with two part-time employees: one skilled gardener to tend to the garden and implement the garden plan and a garden coordinator to execute plans, apply for grants, organize workshops, and connect with local organizations and businesses.
Weekly Delivery Program
Transport nutritious foods to vulnerable populations and put a dent in the area's food insecurity.
