A community garden is a space where plants are grown by the community to meet that community’s needs. The garden engages community members to grow their own vegetables and herbs, to get exercise, and to meet new friends.
Eligibility varies by location. More details are available in the garden directory or by visiting the website.
Contact the coordinator for the garden you are interested in. Contact information is available in the garden directory.
Community gardens can deliver a number of benefits to local communities for gardeners, their friends and families, and others in neighbourhoods with gardens, by building community, enhancing environment, and promoting wellness.
Garden locations and contact information can be found on the website.
