Description 

In the spring of 1996, a group of volunteers from the Forest Hill United church started a small potato patch on church property. They were responding to the social assistance cutbacks and the increasing demand on the Food Bank of Waterloo Region’s services. In 2002 the Waterloo Region provided a grant to support the purchase of used lumber to create raised garden beds and defined pathways.
