Metchosin Grown Society invites community members, local businesses, and partners to support a shared commitment to community well-being, local food security, and hands-on agricultural learning.
We operate the community garden at the Metchosin School Site—an inclusive, volunteer-driven space where people of all ages come together to grow food, build skills, and strengthen connections within our community.
As the garden continues to grow, completing a wildlife-resistant perimeter fence is our most urgent priority.
The fence is essential to:
Protect crops from wildlife damage
Reduce food loss and volunteer rework
Support safe, accessible programming and workshops
Ensure the long-term sustainability of the garden
This project is being led and built by volunteers, with funds raised going directly toward materials and essential infrastructure.
👉 Learn more about the Garden Fence Fundraiser and how to sponsor a section of fence.
In addition to the fence project, community support helps us maintain and improve the garden through:
Irrigation components that support efficient, drought-resilient watering
Shared tools and equipment for volunteer and educational use
Materials and skilled or in-kind support for site improvements
Every contribution—financial, material, or in-kind—helps strengthen the garden and expand access to local food-growing opportunities.
Metchosin Grown Society is a provincially registered non-profit society with a volunteer board and active membership. Our work aligns with the District of Metchosin’s Agriculture Plan and reflects the community’s long-standing commitment to local agriculture and shared stewardship.
With community support, we can continue to grow food, offer workshops, and build a resilient, welcoming garden space for all.
If you are interested in supporting the garden, sponsoring a fence section, or learning more about our work, we would love to hear from you.
