Vancouver Master Gardeners directly participate with diverse groups in Volunteer Projects.
These ongoing outreach programs are located in:
- schools

- hospitals
- long-term care facilities
- hospices
- transition houses
- and Botanic gardens
They bring an understanding of sustainable gardening practices to school students, aspiring gardeners, and community-minded individuals.
The garden projects are supportive gathering places for seniors, the disabled, people in transition, and patients and families needing an uplifting place of respite.
