Springbank Community Gardens - 2025 Application

The Springbank Community Gardens at rare Charitable Research Reserve are a special space for those interested in growing their own fresh organic produce. Located within an ecological reserve, the gardens are a unique place where activities are done respectfully and with minimal impact on the environment and the creatures that reside there. We are a multicultural, multi-generational garden site, where the members share knowledge and build relationships in the name of education, responsible land stewardship and inclusion. We support diverse, inclusive, and equitable participation as we work toward meaningful reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples (self-identified and status First Nations, Metis, and Inuit) of Turtle Island. About this questionnaire: The gardens at rare Charitable Research Reserve are committed to providing a positive gardening experience to people of all racial identities, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability and economic status, and we recognize that historical and present-day barriers exist that disadvantage Black, Indigenous, People of Colour and other marginalized community members. The purpose of this questionnaire is to collect information that will help assign garden plots based on the members’ unique needs while helping to increase equity and reduce barriers.
