Registration
The cost of running a program like this is high, and the program is valued at $530/participant. Expert teaching from master gardeners with decades of west coast growing experience will make a difference in your gardening journey! Accessibility is important to us and we want everyone who is interested to be involved. We are able to offer the program at a highly subsidized cost because TCFI is backed by a strong board of volunteers & received grants from the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, Clayoquot Biosphere Trust, and the District of Tofino. Registration for Growing West Coast Gardeners 2025 is on a sliding scale beginning at $150 - $530.00 per participant. Please contact us at "info@tofinocommunityfoodinitiative.com" if cost is a barrier to you and you'd benefit from a bursary spot - we would be happy to make sure you can access the course.
TCFI is grateful to offer GWCG in partnership with the District of Tofino.
