Mission Statement

OVF's mission is to provide the surrounding urban community with a place to garden, promote and practice organic gardening techniques, maintain a green space in the community, provide education and guidance in the growing of plants and the recycling of waste through composting, and encourage the members' participation in gardening activities that benefit the community. OVF strongly promotes activities that minimize waste generation — those that reuse, reclaim or recycle all possible materials — thus ensuring a minimal impact on the environment.

"OVF is a shambly whatever kinda place."
