Our Purpose

to reintegrate the Baird Park garden space back into public use. Doing this will open up plots to Burlington gardeners in an area that currently has a severe shortage of community garden space. It will also allow the group to host DIG, a brand new garden education program serving kids in mental health - the first program of its kind in this area. Since the site had previously been closed down by the city, we need some money to get it back into tip-top shape. Namely, we need compost and fencing materials.
