Okanagan at
the Vibrant
Veggie Garden
Did you know that Kelowna’s Vibrant Veggie Garden donated more than 15,000 pounds of fresh produce last season to support families and local organizations? Volunteers like you power the not-for-profit garden, which partners with the Central Okanagan Food Bank and other community organizations. Make a meaningful impact with fellow UBC alumni, friends, and family by helping to prepare the garden for winter!
