Please complete this online form if you are interested in receiving free food start seedlings from the Get Growing, Victoria! program. This program is open to residents of the City of Victoria, with a priority to support under-served communities, including those who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
Distribution will be managed by your local community or neighborhood association (in this case, the NPNA and VIRCS).
Your contact information will only be used by your neighbourhood organization to inform you when seedlings are ready to be collected. The remaining information, without your contact details, will be shared with the City of Victoria to analyze and report on program performance.
