About Campus Roots:
Background
The Campus Roots Garden Club (Lethbridge, AB) was founded in 2008 as a community garden for students and staff affiliated with the University of Lethbridge. In 2010, the University entered into an agreement in principle with the City of Lethbridge to develop the campus garden into a community garden serving the residents of Lethbridge. As a result, the Club revised its bylaws to become the Campus Roots Community Garden Association.
Mission and Vision
Our main mission is to provide garden plots for the use of members. As a co-operative endeavor, we seek to enrich the lives of our members through increased awareness and education about nutrition, sustainability, and the environment, respect, and basic agricultural production while encouraging a well-grounded sense of community among members.
The Association's secondary purpose is to benefit the University and Lethbridge communities by offering a forum where community members can learn from each other about sustainable, organic, local-level agricultural production.
