Hi, I'm Jessamyn (they/them)! Thanks for your interest in joining the Mycelium Garden team.

In 2026, our plot will be split into three sections:

🌻 Two youth sections: Each will belong to one youth gardener for the year. Priority will go to racialized youth, disabled youth, poz youth, and youth experiencing food and/or housing insecurity.

🌾 One community section: This area is for anyone who wants to share space, garden for part of the year, or join in on a more flexible schedule.

All gardeners will have access to free seeds, tools, and gardening support. No experience needed! We have some funding to for accessible gardening tools.

The Mycelium plot is located within the Alexandra Community Garden at 9620 Odlin Rd, Richmond, BC V6X 1C9. Please note, our plot is not wheelchair accessible. More info on the space can be found here. Free transit tickets are available for all youth.

Survey responses are kept confidential and only available to the Mycelium staff (i.e., Jessamyn, Colby, and Stevie). If you have any questions, please contact me at jessamyn@youthco.org. Applications will close December 1. I will reach out to all applicants by December 15th to let you know if you have an individual section or access to the shared section.
