Growing your own fruit and vegetables

Growing your own fruit and vegetables can be a rewarding challenge for you and your family to undertake. 

At home

If you're starting a garden at home, the first step to growing a healthy garden is marking off exactly where you want the beds to go. Consider the size, shape, and location of your garden to figure out the best set-up for you. Keep in mind that it can always be changed over time if necessary.

At your local community garden

If you're just getting started or don't have the space at home, community gardens are a great way to come together to grow fruit and vegetables with support from your community and local gardening experts.

Workshops are held in community gardens across the city throughout the year, where you can learn about a variety of horticultural and urban farming techniques, giving you the skills and knowledge to apply to your own urban patch and the joy of eating homegrown fruits and vegetables.
