| OUR TEAM
The Orchard Garden's volunteer team consists of graduate and undergraduate students of The University of British Columbia campus Vancouver, a Garden Coordinator and an Academic Advisor/Principal Investigator. Our team arrives in the garden with a wealth of broad experiences and degrees in Curriculum Studies, Science Education, Business, Art Education, Math Education, Economics, Plant Genetics, Landscape Architecture, Radio Broadcasting, Contemporary Dance, Horticulture, Engineering,
Architecture... and the list goes on.
We are pulled to the work and power of gardens through various intersecting agendas. We are unified by our shared passion and curiosity for the land and our community.
Past and current members have made possible eight successful growing seasons, in which the garden and participants have flourished and grown up.
