Shoreham Village in Chester hosted a “Winter Harvest” program, which turned the coldest months of the year into a season of growth, connection and nostalgia. Residents rolled up their sleeves to grow fresh food, revisit beloved hobbies and share stories that sprouted right alongside the seedlings.

With support from roughly $2,500 in wellness funds from the Lunenburg County Community Health Board, the Shoreham Village Senior Citizen’s Association created a cozy indoor greenhouse oasis complete with accessible gardening tables, greenhouse coverings, lighting, seeds, soil, and essentials needed to bring a burst of green indoors.

“It was meaningful and it definitely had a positive outcome. Not necessarily with all that we grew but for the residents to actually see it, be part of it and watch it grow. It was a really good process for all of us.”

We need your voice.

The Provincial budget hasn’t been finalized yet, and decisions being made right now will impact recreation across the province, shaping the wellbeing of our communities for years to come.

Take a few minutes to share on behalf of your community: https://www.recreationns.ns.ca/collecting-stories-of-impact-provincial-budget-2026-27.html

We’re asking for real stories and specific examples of how investments in recreation make a difference.
