It is truly amazing what can be grown on our little rock in the Salish sea. Come on up to the Ruddy Garden at 511 Sunset Road and see for yourself! The Garden is open for visitors most week days. Follow the signs for the self guided tour and learn about our Bowen growing conditions, gardening techniques in use and composting methods.

The Ruddy Garden is
our outdoor classroom.

We are learning how to grow food for our community in a small space using methods that conserve precious water resources and protect our soils.

Bordering a creek and a designated Riparian area, The Ruddy Garden is situated in an important watershed our garden site provides many interesting challenges and opportunities. Our intention is to provide an interactive demonstration site for Islanders interested in starting their own food gardens, and to grow produce for use in our kitchen and for sale at The Ruddy Store.
