Do you have an interest and/or experience in raising a food garden? Do you feel comfortable working with school-age kids? If so, then become an Inspiration Garden volunteer and mentor.
Coquitlam's Inspiration Garden (located in Town Centre Park at Guildford Way and Pipeline Road) is looking for volunteers to become mentors to school-aged children as you raise a food garden together. The time commitment would be twice a month until June, breaking in summer, then again from September through October.
This program aims to give the next generation an opportunity to gain a better understanding on where their food comes from, how to grow vegetables, to observe and appreciate the work and effort in growing produce. This initiative is in partnership with Share, Coquitlam's local food bank's "Grow A Row; Share A Row," where the harvest will be donated.
To find out more about this new opportunity and how to become an Inspiration Garden volunteer, email Julieanne Agnew at garden@coquitlam.ca.
