In 2006, a beautiful community garden was constructed at Our Lady of Scapular Church on Thorold Stone Road through a partnership between Project SHARE, Our Lady of Scapular Church and many supporting community partners. In total, 40 5ft. X 10ft. individual plots were built for families in need to grow their own organic fresh herbs and vegetables. In addition, volunteers tend larger plots that grow food for our Emergency Food Program.

Yearly, the garden produces over 2,000 pounds of emergency food that is distributed through Project SHARE’s Food Bank. Members from the Niagara Falls Horticultural Society donate their time and experience to mentor new gardeners on how to grow healthy, organic foods without using any pesticides. All produce is grown using only compost that is donated by Walker Brothers Industries.

3 to 4 workshops are offered throughout the garden season to educate the gardeners on Square Foot Gardening, Companion Gardening and how to preserve their harvest through canning and drying methods. The garden always needs lots of love and care from volunteers who can help weed, water and harvest the produce. Come on out and be part of our GROWING Team!
