Growing our Community

Growing our Community

Building Bonds Through Gardens

Growing our Community is about weaving the fabric of Scarborough tighter, one garden at a time. We bring people together through shared plots, potlucks, and skill-sharing events, creating a neighborhood where everyone feels connected. From planting carrots to swapping recipes, every moment strengthens our community’s roots.

A Feast of Friendship

Our community dinners are legendary—tables groaning with homegrown dishes, laughter echoing through the air, and new friendships blossoming over shared meals. Last summer, our “Harvest Feast” saw 150 residents share everything from zucchini bread to spicy chutneys, all made from our gardens. These events remind us that food is love made edible.

Empowering Every Voice

We believe everyone has something to contribute. Our youth programs teach teens to grow their own food, while our elder-led storytelling sessions pass down wisdom about traditional crops. Volunteers like Aisha, who started our community compost program, show how one idea can spark change. Together, we’re building a community where every voice matters.

Join the Family

Ready to grow with us? Volunteer at our next garden workday, share your skills at a workshop, or simply join us for a community meal. Whether you’re digging in the dirt or dancing at our harvest party, you’ll find a warm welcome. Let’s grow Scarborough into a place where everyone thrives.
