Community gardens are creating welcoming spaces for tenants

Having the right tools available allows more residents to participate in gardening tasks increasing their physical ability and fine motor skills. 

Staff emphasizes the inclusivity of having these tools available, stating “it is easier for [the residents] to grasp the tools and have a more embodied gardening experience.” The garden has a positive impact on resident well-being. It helps residents feel more independent and connected to their community. 

From green spaces to gathering places

Whether sitting among the flowers or admiring nature’s beauty, residents have a place to reflect and recharge. 

In a housing community, these spaces help create a warm and supportive environment. One that, much like the garden itself, flourishes through care, patience, and collaboration. 

Through the Garden Fund, BC Housing is proud to support non-profit housing partners. This funding helps create green spaces that foster community and connection.
