Interested in gardening? Burnaby Food First has a number of initiatives in the city for local green thumbs.
The non-profit group is looking for folks willing to contribute space to the Sharing Backyards program, where people allow gardeners to use extra space on their property to grow food. There are also plots up for grabs in North Burnaby, Burnaby Heights, Cariboo Hill and Edmonds. Interested gardeners needing space to grow food can apply to the program.
Burnaby Food First is also looking for volunteers to work with Burnaby high school students on gardening projects. Prospective volunteers should have gardening experience and enjoy working with youth. The time commitments are flexible, but a criminal record check is a must.
For more information or to apply for any of the programs, email [email protected].
