HOME PROGRAMS CALENDAR TAKE ACTION ABOUT Donate THE GARDEN HOME / THE GARDEN 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. 2021 is our second season taking full advantage of the 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 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. Stay tuned to this page for information. And be sure to watch our garden grow if you pass by the Community Food Centre. OTHER PROGRAMS At the Nelson Community Food Centre, we strive to create a welcoming environment where people can access healthy food, join a cooking or gardening program, and be a part of a community centred on nutritious food and fun social activities.
