"a place to grow together"

Welcome to the Waterford Community Garden - a not-for-profit project sponsored by the Outreach Committee of the Waterford United Church, Waterford, Ontario Canada.

Who Are We?
The Outreach Committee of the WUC – is a forward thinking community minded group that raise awareness and fund raise for Mission and Service worldwide and in our own community.
The Waterford Community Garden is a non-profit project that we hope to turn into a community run organization with support from the OC.

Why a Community Garden?

We have a vision of a beautiful garden where like-minded people of every age, background and neighborhood will come together to share experiences, ideas and friendship in the name of growing our own food. We believe that people can become more self sufficient and more healthful through education about what we eat and how to grow it. Growing our own food is the first step in learning other new skills such as cooking with real food and preserving what we grow for winter. Trying something new and living off the land is powerful.

Our garden is plots of land measuring 9' x 12' that growers are assigned for the season and are responsible to take care of. If growers feel that they need more space, they can join 2 or more plots together. Growers must maintain their plot of land and the public garden area immediately surrounding it. Growers are encouraged to grow any annuals they wish – herbs, vegetables, flowers.

There is a nominal fee of $10.00 for each plot to help pay for garden essentials.
