GROWING EDEN
🌱 For families to be a part of a beautiful community garden, learn to grow flowers and veggies, involve children in the joys of nature and gardens, and take home fresh organic harvest.
From 2010 til 2025, Growing Eden was a garden-based program for parents and children of all ages. We especially welcomed families who are refugees, low-income or new immigrants who are interested in connecting with plants and people. Provided in partnership with South Vancouver Family Place and South Vancouver Neighbourhood House.
Growing a food secure community, one harvest at a time.
Growing Eden is free to attend.
