THE GARDEN

The Nelson Community Food Centre Garden is where vegetables are grown for our Good Food Bank and Food Skills programs. It is one more way we are trying to address community food security from many angles – people of low incomes have access to fresh, organic produce; we’re growing the produce instead of buying vegetables trucked in from elsewhere; and gardeners are learning valuable skills.
Date: Throughout the Spring and Summer
Location: 602 Silica Street
Nelson, BC, V1L 4N1
The Nelson Community Food Centre is located in the lower hall of the Nelson United Church.
2022 is our third season taking full advantage of the 14 new raised beds outside our HQ at 602 Silica.  Under the guidance of our garden coordinator, Emil, gardeners plant, care for and harvest vegetables, berries and herbs. Gardeners come from any of the Nelson Community Food Centres’ other three programs, and the general public. They claim the gardening experience is beneficial to their physical and mental health, appreciate having a way to give back, and are excited about the new skills they are acquiring.
