Yard Gardener
Ongoing
The Yard Gardens is a community food security project of Little Mountain Neighbourhood House. We are a group of dedicated volunteers and one coordinator who grow food in yards generously shared by Riley Park neighbours. Our Produce supplements food from the Vancouver Food Bank, local farmers and businesses in Little Mountain's Food Distribution program that serves individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. To create a connected and empowered neighbourhood by growing and providing fresh, nutritious food to those who face food insecurity in our community. Join Us: We welcome all ages and offer volunteering positions ranging from short garden shifts to long-term leadership roles from April through October. If you are interested in volunteering, donating, or have questions, please contact us at: ygc@lmnhs.bc.ca Volunteer Info and Manual: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T5jyeah8CcrumjJjPwymnvo5ZQos9S2T/view?usp=drive_link Sign Up Sheet: https://forms.gle/2qBm7TgWMYoNyyb29
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
We offer a place for people to learn and practice skills in sustainable agriculture! We act as a reference for future schooling or jobs, provide a volunteer certificate and host multiple volunteer/community events :) We share any extra seeds, seedlings, food and supplies to volunteers as well
