The Garden of Salem community garden aims to cultivate community while helping others cultivate plants to fill hungry bellies. This is accomplished by building community food production capacity through partnerships and networks within the Albert County community. Over the past couple of years, the cost of food has risen as our sense of community has decreased. Participation in a community garden can help solve both problems. For example, during the COVID 19 pandemic, The Garden of Salem community garden provided a safe and peaceful meeting place for people to gather, build relationships, learn, have fun, and grow nutritious food for themselves, their families and the local food bank. In 2021, together we grew approximately 300 pounds of food to give to the Shepody Food Bank.
