Growing good food.

Growing community!

Call to action


The Bells Corners Community Garden, aka BCCG, is led by neighbours with a passion for growing good food and giving back to the community! During the warm season, the team will grow vegetables to donate to the local food bank and community groups. With a huge commitment to getting to know their neighbours and building community, the BCCG will also lead activities for Bells Corners residents.

Front-yard garden pilot


In 2020, BCCG neighbours Ken and Marc, supported by Joan, Connie, and Zion, combined their joint front-yard into a vegetable garden. In that first year, they met tons of other neighbours as they worked outside to establish the garden and grow good food. Growing community from the start, they shared the harvest with neighbours by setting up a table where they could each grab a free box of tomato. Last year, BCCG approached the FAMSAC Food Cupboard to donate the food from the front-yard garden. In total, they donated 150lbs of fresh vegetables to the food bank.

“The pandemic was such an isolating time. That experience taught us to support neighbours who might be struggling, and to value our relationships even more. So, I’m looking forward to collaborating with my neighbours on this worthwhile project to champion food security. Plus, growing healthy food and building community is a labour of love for me!”
