Chief T'Selehye School is located in Fort Good Hope, a fly-in majority Dene community in the Northwest Territories. Many of our families struggle to afford healthy, fresh foods. Our school had some hydroponic garden towers that weren't being used, and we saw the opportunity to grow fresh healthy food and flowers in school and teach students about gardening, cooking and maybe even agro-business. We applied for a grant for some essentials, and requested a donation of seeds from West Coast Seeds. The rest is history!

The Crescent Valley Resource Centre has always been passionate about combating food insecurity, so in 2019 when opportunity arose, we opened The Growing Place!

There are 62 plots tended to by community gardeners, but the food bank harvest is available to all that use the North End Food Bank.

Our garden committee was established in January of 2025, following initial planning for the project over the previous six months. Beginning as an initiative to fulfill a University requirement by a student, the project grew to incorporate so much more with the help of community volunteers. This committee has been a joint project between the Westend Seniors Activity Center and members of the community. Forwarding this idea of a community garden through a public information session in late January of 2025 yielded positive feedback, with many attendees expressing their support and willingness to set time aside to make this project happen. It was the dedication of community members and their willingness to form a committee that allowed us to move forward (in addition to the generosity of grant funds contributed by other organizations).

Raised helping in the garden alongside my mom, I (Julie) grew up with dirt on my hands, and a love for flowers in my heart. Now a photographer and lifelong garden enthusiast, I capture the beauty of our property in every season—celebrating the tiny details and fleeting moments that make nature magical.

One of the most magical parts of gardening is discovering the details that are often overlooked. A raindrop clinging to a petal, the delicate details of a leaf, a perfectly spun spider’s web, the golden dusting of pollen on a bee’s legs—these are treasures that can’t always be seen at a glance. That’s where macro photography comes in.

We have a large group of patrons we serve in our community. Our community of 4,000 and greater district of 9,000 is who we serve. Our mission is to be a safe, inclusive space for shared information and community gathering.

The St. Albert Seed Library launched in the spring of 2020. We are in our 5th year now and have shared 1000s of seeds with our community. Our goal was to share seeds, provide opportunities for our community to learn about seed saving, increase food security, and provide seeds and education to support pollinators native to our area. Our seeds are sourced through donations from seed companies - thank you West Coast Seeds! And from donations from our local gardeners.

The Prince of Wales Garden Group started in 2022 by a dedicated group of students who wanted to change our school garden. With the support of our staff, we were able to get new garden boxes, marking the beginning of our journey. As our efforts grew, more staff and students joined in to contribute to the garden's development.
Our mission is to create a passion for gardening and connect students to nature.  We foster collaboration among staff and students by learning and working together. We are introducing native plants and pollinators, and hosting workshops. Currently, we are working on our Medicine Wheel Garden, where we plan on growing native plants and sacred medicines, creating a learning environment for both teachers and students.

Our organization was founded in 2015 by Cara Smith, who sadly is not longer with us.  Her vision was to provide the opportunity for people to have a place to garden, in circumstances where they wouldn't be able to otherwise, while also creating food security by growing food for donation to local organizations such as the local food bank and church.

The Bruce Botanical Food Gardens (BBFG), founded in 2012, is a non-profit organization displaying a diverse collection of sustainable, organic food plants of the rare, endangered and heirloom varieties. As a public learning centre and food-based tourist attraction, the BBFG offers a variety of educational programming and events for all ages. Our mission has always been to address the issues of food insecurity, sustainable agriculture, and the issues faced by the small family farm through tourism, education, hands on experience and cultural activity.

The Society was incorporated in 1984 as a charitable organization with the purpose of supporting those with a palliative diagnosis, their loved ones and the bereaved. Initially formed as a small volunteer organization with a visiting program, the Society is currently recognized as a leader in the development and delivery of comprehensive hospice palliative care services.

Started in 2013,  our seed library members can "check out" seeds like any other material in the library. Our mission is to provide a free service committed to enriching our community by education its members in the practice of gardening and seed saving, knowing that these practices will foster a more resilient, self-reliant, sharing, and self-sustaining community.

To build a library in Upland, residents and officials reached out to apply for a grant and received Carnegie funding of $10,000 which was granted in 1911. The library opened in 1913 with Los Angeles architect Homer Glidden designing the building. The contractor, John Gerry, constructed many buildings in Ontario and Upland and is considered important in the development of the community. The building served as a library until 1969, when the library moved to a new building. The current library is housed at 450 N. Euclid, only a stone’s throw away from the Carnegie. The city began making moves to build a new library in the late 1960’s’.  The groundbreaking ceremony was held in December of 1967 and the library was completed in 1968, although it wasn’t open to the public until 1969.

Whether you are a gardening newbie with a single pot on your deck, have a sweet back-yard plot, or are a certified organic farmer with acres of growing space, these eco-gardening essentials will benefit your garden, and the environment.

At Elk Root Conservation’s Educational Demonstration Farm (ERC) in Vallican, BC we believe that local food security and protecting the planet go hand-in-hand. We are a certified organic demonstration farm, orchard and apiary that goes ‘beyond’ the certified organic standard, creating thriving farm ecosystems. The certified organic standard is fantastic which is why we certified the entire ERC demonstration farm. However, at ERC we love to geek out, applying outside-the-box approaches to find even better ways to support our environment while feeding the future of all our diverse community members be they winged, web-footed, finned, or human alike!
