Bayshore Park Community Garden & Oven

Bayshore Park Community Garden & Oven Bayshore Park Community Garden and Oven is a non-profit organization focused on operating a community garden and community outdoor bake oven.

Bayshore Park Community Garden & Oven aims to:


• Contribute to food security by transforming a patch of Bayshore Park into a landscape for growing food and baking for the local community;

• Provide the local community with access to garden plots where they can grow healthy, organic produce for a minimal annual membership fee;

• Engage the volunteers to safely operate the outdoor bake oven with a view to provide the community with an opportunity to bake their food through a variety of wood-fired cooking techniques;

• Create a space for community members to learn and share gardening and baking activities and techniques;

• Provide space for children to participate in gardening activities so that they learn about edible plants, insects, and weeds, how they grow and their nutritional value;

• Facilitate teaching of ecologically responsible gardening practices, such as organic growing methods and water conservation;

• Build community ties by bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds to volunteer and work together to build and tend the community garden, operate and use the community outdoor oven; and

• Support member-driven educational projects that are a benefit to the members and the local community.
