The focus of the Community Greenhouse Project is to promote social and environmental sustainability by allowing community members to grow their own organic herbs and vegetables six months of the year while engaging in a welcoming community environment.
There are four, 20 by 40 foot greenhouses; two at Spruce Grove Field House, one at Myrtle Philip Community School and one at Alpha Lake Park. Each greenhouse contains eighteen, 2.5ft by 8ft boxes. The Greenhouse beds are rigged with heating cables and irrigation systems. The annual fee of $60 for a box includes a wide variety of organic seeds, fertilizer, water, a gardening course and lots of on going support.
If you are interested in starting a Greenhouse in your community we would love to give you more information via our newest program The Community Greenhouse Education Program! Please contact Kari at kari@mywcss.org or phone 604-932-0113.
