The Bruce Botanical Food Garden

The Bruce Botanical Food Gardens (BBFG), founded in 2012, is a non-profit organization displaying a diverse collection of sustainable, organic food plants of the rare, endangered and heirloom varieties. As a public learning centre and food-based tourist attraction, the BBFG offers a variety of educational programming and events for all ages based on issues surrounding food security and sustainable food production. The unique varieties of food harvested from the garden provide people with fresh, healthy, organic food options.

To address the issues of food insecurity, sustainable agriculture, and the issues faced by the small family farm through tourism, education, hands-on experience and cultural activity.

The garden is a living marketplace…all the food grown here is offered in exchange for a donation. You are welcome to visit, in season, to harvest or just enjoy the beauty of 250 unique, edible plants and the natural habitat they create.

There are regular events and workshops for children and adults at the Bruce Botanical Food Garden. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram for a full schedule of events or contact our garden manager to arrange a guided tour.
