Grow@ The Homestead is a community-based garden program encouraging sustainable gardening practices, hands-on education, an appreciation for Niagara’s rural past and present, and outdoor recreation. All harvests from our on-site garden is donated is to local food banks.
Join our free events, workshops, guest speakers to dig in to your community and enhance your learning of where our food comes from, and why local matters. All are welcome!

Support Grow@ the Homestead
Our volunteer Garden Keepers grow over 500 heirloom seedlings each year. What we don’t giveaway is then grown in our gardens for the community.
100% of all produce harvested from the Grow@ program is donated to neighbouring food banks.
In the Garden: Digital Resources
In 2023 we started to plant from seed and grow our own seedlings for our garden, as well as for the community.
Check out the educational videos we produced to share what we’ve learned in the process.
Thank you to our generous donors!
