Habitat in Harmony is a huuuuuge permaculture garden in Belmont north.
What we do:
We are all about veggies.
In the scheme of community gardens, our garden is pretty big, and we are able to grow lots and lots of veggies. Our mission is to provide access to cheap, nutritious, organic fruit and vegetables for our community.
We make and sell perfect compost for your garden at home. $4 a bag and 3 for $10.
We also have several worm farms that process all of our organic wastes and produce wonderful worm tea fertilizer which is available for a gold coin donation.
Our values:
