COMMUNITY GARDENS: growing FOOD TOGETHER.
At the core of what we do are the LFI community garden spaces. Our urban gardens are for community to come together to grow food, learn about where their food comes from and gathering.
Are you interested in joining our LFI growing community? Please use our expression of interest form below - we will be in touch about either growing with us, or joining our waitlist (depending on the time of year).
