The North Bay Heritage Gardeners are dedicated to developing a year-round, community-based horticultural and environmental program focused on the beautification of North Bay’s waterfront.
Our volunteer gardeners work in teams that manage individual garden beds along the waterfront. Each team is supported by a Team Leader, who helps share information, coordinates plant orders on behalf of the team, and supports communication and teamwork throughout the season.
The Heritage Gardeners are governed by a volunteer Executive Committee and supported by additional committees—including Education, Design, and other working groups—that help guide programming, planning, and operations.

HERITAGE NORTH BAY PARTNERS
The North Bay Heritage Gardeners are also a member organization of Heritage North Bay, working alongside the North Bay Museum and the Heritage Railway and Carousel to support and celebrate the city’s shared heritage. Together, they form a predominantly volunteer-based organization with the goal of caring for and enhancing North Bay’s waterfront, including its parks, cultural attractions, and historic sites along the waterfront and Rail Lands. The Heritage Gardeners also play an active role on the Heritage North Bay Board, which brings together representatives from the Heritage Gardeners, the other Heritage North Bay organizations, the City of North Bay, and the community.
