🌱 Celebrating 10 Years of Growing Community! 🌱

Our Annual Plant Sale continues TODAY Saturday May 30th from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.

This is our largest fundraiser of the year and plays a vital role in keeping our gardens growing.

Whether you leave with a tomato plant, a perennial, a garden treasure from our yard sale, or simply stop by to say hello, you're helping us continue our mission for another season.

Thank you for supporting 10 years of growing food, friendships, and community. We couldn't do it without you!

Apparently we’re growing more than vegetables this year at the Quinte West Gardens-Growing Community . 😉

We were weeding the raised beds today and stumbled across a surprise crop growing under a mound of straw… baby bunnies! 🐇

Thanks to all our amazing volunteers who helped tidy the gardens while carefully working around our adorable little garden guests.

A huge thank you to Jay and Ken, two of our dedicated board members, for repairing two of our accessible raised garden beds at Quinte West Gardens-Growing Community this week. Their hard work and time have helped keep these beds safe, functional, and ready for another growing season.

We’d also like to extend our thanks to Trenton Home Hardware Building Centre for helping us out with a deal on the supplies needed for the repairs. Community support like this makes such a difference. 🔨💚

Check out the before and after photos below to see the transformation!
