Greater Vernon Community Gardens  are registering for 2012!

Go to www.greatervernonrecreation.ca  and click on Community Gardens on the right hand tab for forms and garden information. Registrants must go in person to the Recreation front desk to pay their fee and have their registration forms processed.

The Food Action Society has been actively involved in the establishment of the Community Garden Network and continues to support community gardens by administering the garden finances.The Society procured a grant  and was able to hire a coordinator to help establish a Community Garden Policy through Greater Vernon Parks, Recreation, and Culture (RDNO), build the new West Vernon garden (2010),and create support documents for current and new garden development. This model is based on partnerships with local government who continue to provide in-kind support to the garden volunteer committees as outlined at www.greatervernonrecreation.ca

The Food Action Society will maintain their commitment to community gardens and continue to support the garden network as capacity allows. For more information, please call Wendy Aasen at 250-542-6920

A new garden has recently been constructed at Trinity United Church in Vernon. A few allotments of 4 x 4 or 4 x 8 are currently available.
