Your Very Own Grow Kit

During these challenging times, we need to make sure we care for our mental health while protecting our physical health.  
We have partnered with Kingston Greenwood Mental Health Association and Berwick Community Gardens to make Grow Kits for seniors struggling with mental health and isolation. If you or someone you know could use an extra little pick me up, give us a call! (Contactless deliveries will be made in accordance with all public health guidelines and protocols).
