The Fort Vancouver Garden
The Fort Vancouver Garden is an
organic, interpretive garden
representing the type of garden
that would have been grown at the original Fort Vancouver in the 1840's. Volunteers receive
the surplus produce after it has been distributed to Share House and the Fort kitchen.
To participate in the planting, weeding and harvesting, you are required to
fill out a Volunteer Agreement. Feel free to inquire.

General Community Garden Information
Start a community garden and discover friendship while growing your flowers and food!
Do you enjoy growing things but lack the space to do so? Community gardening is a wonderful opportunity
to meet others with the same interests. Experience the gratification of producing flowers and food for your
table.
Community gardens are urban green spaces that provide oxygen, cooling shade and welcome community
oases for meditation, recreation and relaxation.
