We are looking for enthusiastic and energetic volunteers to help us during our Tomato Festival in the Riley Park Community Garden.
Our Riley Park Community Garden is designed to address food security and community involvement and bring our community members closer through participation, education, and events. The garden is an inclusive gathering point reflecting our core visions to improve food security, ecological sustainability, and community development. We promote food security by supporting those in our community who need extra food support. The garden is a collective public space where people can engage in co-creation, feel a sense of belonging and ownership, and increase networks. Long-term sustainability depends on the development of social capital and the intention to grow produce that may be given back to the community.
