The History of our Garden

We are a community-based organic garden located beside Stoney Creek Elementary in Burnaby, B.C. We are run through an organization called NEBCA, the North East Burnaby Community Association, and so some people refer to us as NEBCA Organic Gardens. Most of our plots are residential but we also have some community plots and school plots. We were formed in 1993 from a community leader named Paula Bowie. In April 1994, the community members worked together every weekend and many evenings in April until May 2nd, when the first phase was completed. It took many hours of coordination and heavy labor!

At that time, and even today, the garden has provided opportunities for people to share their knowledge of gardening and environmental issues. We are always looking for more members who are eager and ready to participate.
