What is a community garden?

A group of people coming together to nurture, develop, and sustain a growing space in their community - engaging, educating, building and strengthening community in a significant way.  There are over 90 community garden sites now operating throughout the Capital region promoting local, organically grown food; healthy and active lifestyles; and safer, more vibrant and connected communities.

Who can garden?

Priority is given to Alberta Avenue resident members. If there is space, then associate (non-resident) members may be considered. We do not normally have space for any gardeners from outside Alberta Avenue.

Where is the garden?

In the fenced area behind the community centre. It consists 45 individual plots and a large communal space.
