Thanks to the United Way Day of Caring, the YMCA of Greater Moncton now has its own community garden.

The objective of the community garden is to create a space for people in the surrounding area and beyond to gather and learn about where their food comes from, all while watching it grow and reaping the benefits of their labor. The community garden comes at an especially important time in consideration of the rising cost of food and the world food crisis that is continually unraveling. The Community Garden will not only provide the space for people to have access to nutritious foods that they would not normally have access to but it will help educate people on the importance of an active healthy lifestyle while preventing social isolation. What better place to do it then the YMCA! To learn how you can get involved please contact the YMCA of Greater Moncton.

This project is made possible by the following: United Way , Exxonmobil , the City of Moncton Fire Department , City of Moncton Engineering and Environmental Services , Audubon Organics , Co Op Atlantic , Co Op Country Store , and Agriculture Canada
