Gardening heals people.\u00a0 Gardening gathers people.\u00a0 Gardening provides foods.<\/p>\n

I have volunteered in the several groups in Vancouver, for 1)therapeutic purpose, 2)educational purpose,\u00a0 3)commodity purpose, and 4)community building.<\/p>\n

1) Photo 1 and 2 were taken when I volunteered for the groups who had mental health\/disability through Evergreen<\/a>.\u00a0 The clients connected to the nature and society (some of them earned for watering).\u00a0 They enjoyed harvesting and tasting the foods that they took care of.<\/p>\n

2) SPEC Cambie Communal Garden<\/a>\u00a0(Society Promoting Environmental Conservation<\/a>).\u00a0 The garden was managed and shared by members.\u00a0 There was an unpaid coordinator (not like other groups).\u00a0 Everyone was volunteers.\u00a0 It was often hard to get a commitment by some volunteers.<\/p>\n

3) Environmental Youth Alliance<\/a> has solid programs for youth to learn gardening\/pollinators.<\/p>\n

4) Fresh Roots<\/a> has educational and commodity purpose of garden.\u00a0 There were interns from high schools and universities when I was volunteering.\u00a0 Garden volunteers and intern can learn the whole cycle of urban farming.<\/p>\n

5) Vancouver Arts Colloquium Society – Permaculture and Art Program<\/a> – The program was educational purpose, but community building purpose was stronger.<\/p>\n

All of the organizations are non-profit.\u00a0 Searching funding and volunteers seemed key to sustain their activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
