leadership development, neighbourhood beautification and land stewardship.

The community garden is a place of beauty and diversity. The members care for several common plots which grow ornamental and edible herbs; a public food boarded on the outside of the garden fence where those passing by can pick and enjoy the harvest and a new butterfly boarder. Inside the fence there are twenty-two plots which have been utilizes by families and individuals of their own enjoyment and harvest. The garden members have been apart of many other projects including developing the Native Berry Trail, Seedy Saturdays and the Collingwood Days Plants Sales.
