Mission Statement

The Bells Corners Community Garden (BCCG) is dedicated to fostering food security, sustainability, and community engagement through urban gardening. We grow fresh, nutritious vegetables to support local food banks and ultimately neighbours who need access to healthy food.

By cultivating a shared space for learning, collaboration, and environmental stewardship, we empower our community to connect, grow, and give back.

Sow the seeds of change – Volunteer today!

Every big movement starts with a single seed! Are you a student looking to get your volunteer hours? Join us in transforming our community, one plant at a time. Whether you're a gardening pro or a total beginner, your time and effort will help grow fresh food for local families and strengthen our neighborhood.

There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the fruits (and veggies!) of your labor. Volunteering in the garden is a chance to connect with nature, make new friends, and give back in a meaningful way.

Come grow with us! Sign up here.

 

We need your thyme!

Are you retired and looking to help a worthy cause, or perhaps you have some time after work or on the weekends. When you volunteer in the BCCG garden, you’re not just growing food—you’re growing hope, community, and change.

Food insecurity in our neighbourhood is real, but together, we can help combat it. By volunteering with us, you’ll play a crucial role in growing fresh, nutritious produce for families in need.

Plus, we’re on a mission to grow food and friendships! Volunteering in the garden is a fun, hands-on way to connect with your neighbors, learn new skills, and support a great cause. No green thumb required—just a willingness to help. Join our garden crew!

 

Cultivating clicks and community

Do you love social media, websites, and digital storytelling? Want to use your skills to help grow a community initiative? We’re looking for a tech-savvy volunteer to help manage our social media, website, and digital newsletter.

You can use your digital skills for a meaningful cause by helping us connect the community to fresh food and sustainability efforts. And you gain experience, build your portfolio, and make a difference!

If you're passionate about gardening, community building, and digital media, we’d love to have you on board! Let's grow something amazing together—online and in the garden!

Rooting for volunteers like you!
