All gardens have water taps nearby and gardeners are welcome to fill their containers with pure fresh spring water to take home for drinking.
GROWING ORGANICALLY
As the U-Grow is part of a larger Certified Organic Farm, we must adhere to what is allowed and specified in the Canadian Organic Standards guidebook. For details, click on U-Grow Community Garden Agreement.
We provide or direct you to untreated seed sources, organic transplants, organic fertilizers, and share our gardening tips. Many of our gardeners practice their own seed-saving.
We are exploring seed-sharing at UGrow. As we are in the early stages this will likely begin in 2026.
THE FARM
Stuart Bucholtz has lived here for nearly 50 years and has dedicated much time and energy into the restoration of the heritage farmhouse and farm buildings, as well as promoting good stewardship of the land.
A long-time organic gardener, he has grown extensive vegetable and flower gardens, runs a greenhouse, maintains a heritage orchard, grows berries, raises sheep, pasture and forage crops. Realizing the desire for many people to participate in their own food production, they have dedicated a portion of the farm for the community gardens at U-Grow.
Our 25 acre heritage farm, a few minutes from Fort Langley, is blessed with deep fertile soil and abundant pure artesian spring water.
Our vision is to responsibly and sustainably farm our land and encourage organic growing practises.
