Our Mandate

Brewer Park Community Garden has been established to pursue the following mandate:

• Contribute to food security by transforming a patch of open lawn into a landscape for growing food for the local community;
  
  
• Provide the local community with access to garden plots where they can grow healthy, organic produce for a minimal annual membership fee;
  
  
• Engage volunteers in growing produce for donation to food banks, meal programs, or other food security programs;
  
  
• Provide space for children to participate in gardening activities so that they learn about edible plants, insects, and weeds, how they grow and their nutritional value;
  
  
• Teach ecologically responsible gardening practices, such as organic growing methods and water conservation;
  
  
• Build community ties by bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds (individuals, families, retired people, students, etc.) to volunteer and work together to build and tend the community garden; and
  
  
• Support member-driven educational projects that are a benefit to the Garden's members and the local community.
