This garden is being created in the Spring of 2012 through a partnership between Ray of Hope and Nexus Centre. There are 3 main goals associated with this project: First, the garden will help beautify downtown Kitchener. Second, it will enable more produce to be grown locally, therefore reducing our environmental footprint. Third, a portion of the produce will be donated back to Ray of Hope to help support their work with individuals and families in the city who need access to nutritious food.
