Vanier Educational Garden

The Vanier Educational Garden, located in the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds, produces fresh fruits and vegetables for our community and hosts the LUSH Valley Seed Library. The seed library is a means for collecting and distributing a variety of seeds, with aims to protect genetic diversity in our food system and promote public access to seeds.

Grow Food Everywhere

Created by LUSH Valley Food Action Society in partnership with the Comox Valley Food Policy Council, the Grow Food Everywhere network facilitates the sharing of tangible and intangible resources between gardeners, farmers, and food growers in the Comox Valley. The goal of the program is to have members of the community openly collaborating to ensure that everyone has access to the resources and information needed to grow their own food.

If you have resources to share, are looking for support, or wish to connect with the community, please visit Grow Food Everywhere on Facebook.
