Multiplication Garden at Harvest Food Bank
This garden contributed fresh vegetables and flowers to the Harvest Food Bank, and provided an oasis of beauty and rest in place of a littered dumping lot in the downtown core.
Constructed, planted and tended the summer of 2009 by volunteers with generous contributions and assistance from
SeaSoil
ESPWA
Organic Research Institute
Seed Savers Exchange
Park Drive Display Garden
In 2010 the District of Port Hardy leased a 1.1 hectare of land to the Grassroots Garden Society.
Work began immediately to clear the brush. In the summer, two students were hired. Students and volunteers worked together to construct raised beds for the Display Garden, which fronts on to Park Drive.
This garden was made possible with generous contributions and assistance from:
Spiketop Cedar
R. Robbins Trucking
Kevin Pearson
SeaSoil
District of Port Hardy
Hardy Builders' Supply
West Coast Seeds
Seed Savers Exchange
Port Hardy Bulldozing
Funding from 
Outdoor Classroom/Children's Garden
