The Intergenerational Garden is located at 22527 121 Ave. in Maple Ridge. It is a neighbourhood based initiative that brings together children, teens, seniors and the wider community in shared learning. In the garden, senior and adult volunteers teach students how to grow vegetables, herbs, flowers and berries.
The Intergenerational Garden project is administered by the Seniors Network and supported by the City of Maple Ridge, School District 42, and Ridge Meadows Seniors Society. Representatives from the CEED Centre Society and Golden Ears FEAST (Food Education Action Strategy Table) also support the project as members of the Advisory Committee.
Funders of the Intergenerational Garden include the New Horizons for Seniors program, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, Vancity, and Food Banks Canada.
