Grow-It-Forward Garden
The Grow-it-Forward Garden is a partnership between Stewardship Pemberton Society, the Pemberton Food Bank, and Sea to Sky Community Services. This large organic vegetable garden can be found at the Pemberton Creek Community Garden.
The garden also serves as a teaching (and eating!) plot for the Pemberton community. It teaches people of all ages about plant life cycles, seed saving, organic gardening techniques, and permaculture, and teaches perseverance and dedication through very tangible results!
The harvested produce goes to the Pemberton Food Bank, Healthy Pregnancy Outreach Program, and Women’s Safe House. This project embodies the spirit of community giving to those most in need.
Over the years the Grow-it-Forward Garden has donated thousands of pounds of fresh, organic produce, and it needs a lot of love! We are always looking for volunteers to assist with the garden.
“It truly fills my heart knowing that our participants were able to enjoy such a variety of fresh produce. Hundreds of pounds of fresh food made it to the dinner tables of those in need.”
