King Street Cooperative Community Garden Startup

Hi everyone,

I'm Despina and I am fundraising on behalf of the King Street Cooperative Community Garden (KSCCG) located in the Heritage District of downtown Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

We are a group of local women who imagined a project that converts a neighbourhood greenspace into a permaculture food forest. Currently, this project has final approval from the Town of Whitby. We aim to grow food and build community through cooperative gardening.

Our objectives are as follows:
  • To honour ecological systems and biodiversity through the use of sustainable food production methods and garden design and a cooperative gardening model in order to grow fresh food for ourselves and to share any surplus with our local food banks.
  • To create awareness and promote education in our community regarding environmental issues associated with food security.
  • To establish the garden as an inspiring, transformative space, in keeping with the spirit of Whitby’s cultural heritage, in order to create positive interconnections within our larger community, which strive to benefit the well-being of all.
We welcome donations in-kind, and are fundraising to begin development of the garden for the 2023 growing season. In order to prepare the garden for next year, we will require funds to cover items such as the following:
  • Perennial and annual plants, and materials to start indoor seedlings
  • Soil amendments (such as compost, soil, and mulch)
  • Garden maintenance supplies (such as gloves, tools, buckets, and hoses)
  • Administrative costs (such as insurance)
Please note: As we are not a registered charity, any donations will not be eligible for a tax receipt. We appreciate your support in this new adventure and we look forward to spending less screen time and more green time with you in the future!
