The Brant/Brantford Roundtable on Poverty has been working for months to announce that we have begun planting community gardens in the Brantford Area. Our public use site is ready to go at 237 Mohawk St in Brantford.
With this community’s support including a great number of businesses, private citizens and organizations we have begun planting! The Roundtable would like to create further interest in this project and make an appeal to businesses, governments, and community members to help us secure the resources needed to keep this project successful and sustainable.
More items such as Storage Sheds, Vehicles, Picnic Tables, a Gazebo/Canopy, Chairs, Gardening Tools, Wheelbarrows, Seedlings, Seeds, Volunteers and Financial Assistance and ideas are needed and encouraged.

The Brant/Brantford Community Garden Project has undergone a change in direction since 2009. A new Project Manager, Sarah Gill from Grand River Community Health Centre, will be working with a new Advisory Committee to help the project with sustainable growth and organizational development.
The community will have the opportunity to take the leadership in establishing, running and sustaining gardens in Brant, Brantford and Six Nations in 2010 and the future.

The Brant/Brantford Community Garden Project will act as a resource, funding allocator, tool-kit developer and consultant for community/neighbourhood garden sites.
Community gardens will be volunteer led and managed at the local level to encourage sustainability and community capacity building.
The Brant/Brantford Community Garden Project would be made up of a network of community gardens and will work with the municipality and community organizations to manage the success of these sites. • Planting the seeds of change...together
