UGrow Program

Tower Garden

The Health Promotion Department has a limited number of aeroponic Tower Gardens available for Units to grow vegetables and fruit throughout the year. The aim of this project is to provide fresh produce for canteens. Units are responsible for maintaining their Tower Garden, with support from the Health Promotion Team regarding the tower set-up, seed starting and learning the basics. Tower Gardens are available on a first come, first served basis.

Greenhouse Project

The Greenhouse Project runs from September/October to February. Greenhouse plots are provided for interested units (a maximum number of plots are available on a first come, first served basis). Units are guided through the seeding and transplanting process and are expected to manage their plot throughout the duration of the project. Seeds and materials are provided.

Community Garden

In partnership with the Community Recreation Department, the Health Promotion Team offers Community Garden plots to interested Units on a first come, first served basis. The program typically runs May to September, dependent on weather. Units are responsible for maintaining their plot throughout the season and for clean-up at the end. Seeds are provided.
