The Ogden/Simpson & East End Veggie Garden Project Ogden/Simpson Veggie Garden Project was established in January 2006. Gardening is an identified strength in our community. See our web pg.

We are an independent grassroots community driven project focused on community capacity building - using the activity of gardening to build relationships between neighbours - over the back yard fence The dream of Marg Stadey assisted by Dr. Connie Nelson of Lakehead University School of Social Work. Funding was secured from the ANC initiative to initiate the project in 2006 and flowed through Lakehead University. Our vision was to revitalize the identified neighbourhood by building relationships over the backyard fence. The model of interaction focused on our strength to meet the identified need for food security. The primary focus was to bring community members and other stakeholders together in a safe, neutral enviornment around an activity that promotes communication and enhances relationship building. The very first process of this project was to purchase equipment, tools, seeds, and soil for community use. This gave residents the chance to grow food regardless of their economic status. During this process It was amazing to see the high level of community respect for one another in regards to sharing their own gardening knowledge and equipment with other community members. There were twenty-eight (28) new gardens stared in the neighbourhood that first year. Marg stated, "Since this project began, there have been many community members who have developed friendships along with gardens". We continue to develope, change and grow. for greater detail www.veggiegardenproject.webs.com
