Bragg Creek Centre
Hello Creekers!
This month we will be rolling out some new workshops such as Keeping Backyard Chickens, Patio Pot Design, Vermicomposting (composting with worms) and for the kids, Birdhouse Building. Visit our brand new website for details.
Bragg Creek’s first Community Garden will open June 5th.
Why a Community Garden?
Community gardens are well known for providing space for community members to grow fresh, healthy food close to home. By getting involved in community gardens, people spend more time outdoors, interact more with neighbours, meet new friends, and experience improvements in their mental and physical health.
Community Gardens:
- provide access to fresh, safe, affordable food
- help to relieve stress and increase a sense of wellness
- get people active, which improves overall physical health
- give people an opportunity to learn and share knowledge
- provide inclusive social opportunities that build a sense of community and belonging
- create an opportunity to identify community assets and to build networks
The garden will include rental beds (some are wheelchair accessible), a learning garden, an herb spiral, a pollinator garden and donation beds. If you are interested in joining our community garden or want to volunteer, email program@braggcreekca.com.
