YOU GROW DURHAM FUND
DIG, Durham Integrated Growers for a Sustainable Community, has a mission to support community food production and food security through shared resources. DIG realizes that there are many difficult aspects of starting a community garden, for this reason, when available, a financial grant of up to $500.00 may be awarded to new community gardens within the Durham Region.
THE PERKS OF MAINTAINING YOUR DIG MEMBERSHIP
I am quite sure that if you are reading this, you and your community have benefited in some way from the actions of Durham Integrated Growers for a Sustainable Community (DIG). Whether it was starting a community garden, help in applying for a grant (or even the discovery that there ARE grants available for your project), the receipt of a “You Grow Durham Fund” bursary, connections made with other urban agriculture projects in Durham, etc., DIG has been there when you needed them.
Our organization is celebrating its 12th anniversary this year. DIG operates because of a dedicated team of Board of Directors who volunteer their time, and in some cases, money, to promote urban agriculture. Our members also sit on many regional committees, and attend important urban ag meetings. We at DIG amplify your voice.
It is for this reason that we are asking you to pay your membership dues.
Did you know that by maintaining your membership, you have access to special resources, available at http://www.durhamdigs.ca/memberresources These are password protected, so be sure to ask when buying/renewing your membership.
As members, you can download our compendium called “Field Guide to Common Garden Pests and Diseases”, written by former Professor R. Shah, who specialized in Entomology, Plant Pathology and Integrated Pest Management at Durham College.
A newly added resource that we are extremely excited to announce is called “The Need to GROW – Impact Kit”. As esteemed members, you and your organization will have a year-long subscription to the feature film, “The Need to Grow”, as well as 15 video classes, including such exciting topics as permaculture, bio-char, sprouting, how to compost, how to grow nutrient dense foods, among many others.
We greatly appreciate your support of DIG. To renew your membership click the button above, email [email protected]
