Vision
Our vision for the East Dalhousie Community Gardens and Food Forest is to create an accessible and welcoming space where residents can gather, connect, and grow together. Above all, we want this space to encourage outdoor activity, stronger neighbourhood connections, and community pride.
In addition, the food forest and community garden beds will create a shared space cared for and valued by residents themselves. As a result, the project will foster stewardship, collaboration, and a stronger connection to nature.
Furthermore, the project will provide opportunities for learning and environmental awareness while demonstrating sustainable gardening practices within an urban setting. Therefore, it will serve not only as a gathering place, but also as a model for community-led sustainability.
Equally important, community feedback through our social media channels and digest magazine has been overwhelmingly positive. As a result, we are confident there is strong support and excitement for the project and its long-term benefits.
