Who We Are |
|
Activities Unlimited of Cowichian Valley is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to providing meaningful activities for seniors. Activities Unlimited recognizes that bringing seniors together in a meaningful activity inspires a sense of community. With that purpose in mind we have created the “Foxglove Community Gardens,” a community garden where seniors and youth can come together in a pleasurable |

goal, namely to grow vegetables, flowers and herbs to nourish both the body and the soul.
The Foxglove Community Gardens founded in 2005, offers a safe, secure and friendly place where people meet other people, share ideas, make friends and build community. Researchers believe that building community is essential. Community gardens do build community beyond the borders of the garden and bring the people from the islolation of their home to the comforts of an accepting and prosperous environment.
