Why a national voice?

Canada has dedicated gardening communities including Master Gardeners, regional clubs, publications, and websites. Many offer genuinely valuable advice. The challenge is that even engaged gardeners can find it difficult to know which information is grounded in current research, or which applies to their specific region and climate.
The Cultivation Network of Canada isn't here to replace those resources. We're here to strengthen the whole ecosystem by adding an independent, evidence-based layer that benefits gardeners and the communities that serve them alike.

Help us build a permanent national institution for evidence-based gardening.

We are seeking $373,000 in founding investment. View our prospectus and get in touch.
