Growing Food
Equal Grounds Community Gardens
Our community garden program is free and a great way to get involved. We have many gardens around the city that always need extra help and are part of a group effort. There are 14 gardens around the city. Everyone is welcome to join. Please connect with the Equal Grounds Community Group to get involved.
Branching Out Branford is a fruit tree registry, food gleaning and food rescue initiative. The tree registry connects owners of disused fruit trees with volunteer pickers that share the fruit between the tree owner (1/3), the volunteers (1/3) and, a 1/3 share goes directly into the community to those that could use it. Branching out Brantford also looks for gleaning, rescue, and donation opportunities to help reduce food waste and contribute to food security. Branching out Brantford is always looking for volunteers to help pick fruit during the season, coordinate picks, and help grow the organization. We are also always looking for fruit trees to register, and other food donation and gleaning opportunities.
