Welcome to GetGrowing Hunt Club!
Every spring, neighbours across Hunt Club come together around a simple idea — that growing your own food is something anyone can do, and that a little support goes a long way. Since 2020, we’ve been putting seedlings, seeds, and know-how into the hands of residents who want to grow fresh vegetables right in their own backyard. Over 1,200 kits have found their way into our community, and each year the garden keeps getting bigger.
