Our Mission
Flamborough Baptist Community Garden will provide space for the community to garden together within the Flamborough area. We will create a shared vision to work together and to cultivate a place for individuals, families and friends to learn about and to experience the rewards of gardening - "to grow food, grow minds and grow community."
Our Objectives
Grow Food
"To enrich the soil and preserve the land through hands-on responsible gardening practices."
- Find appropriate, easily accessible gardening plots for interested citizens and groups
- Inclusive infrastructure - raised beds, walking paths, etc.
- Provide tools and resources, fenced in areas, water access, sheds
Grow Minds
"To teach each other sustainable gardening techniques."
- A garden space to share and learn new skills through informal interaction in the garden, formal workshops and training days and other teaching opportunities
- A safe space where participants can grow with their crops while developing a sense of identity, self-esteem and respect for self, others, and the land.
Grow Community
"To encourage the building of cooperation and friendships."
- Bring people together through a common meeting area, social interaction and networking, and planned community activities
