The Dr. Kingston Memorial Community Health Centre is seeking candidates for the Richmond River Roots Market Garden Society Apprenticeship Program.

Additionally, the RRRMGS mentoring program allows apprentices to learn new skills and gain market gardening experience.<br />
<br />
The apprenticeship program is appropriate for both those interested in establishing their own market garden as well as those interested in increasing their own food self-sufficiency. The Richmond River Roots Market Garden uses eco-friendly approaches to gardening. There is a deer-fence protected garden as well as low and high tunnel, prop houses and greenhouses (coming this spring) available for growing. Accommodation available on site.<br />
