Unearthing Our Common Roots

We Seek To Create A Community Where People Feel Engaged And Comfortable Talking About Climate action.

Events

This garden has helped form friendships and foster relationships with those who share the same love of gardening and the environment. Each time we come in the garden, we look forward to seeing both familiar and new faces.

Our Initiatives

The Earth is what connects us, and our community garden values our roles as stewards of the land we’ve settled on. By practicing regenerative gardening principles, we work to protect the soil and our home.

Community Garden

At the Kirkham Collective Garden, we recognize the value of community. We provide our members a fun space to learn about gardening together, and to make our plot into a regenerative garden.

OUR OBJECTIVES

Making Markham net-zero 2030.

Help the city of Markham reach its sustainability goals by 2030.
