Have you ever thought about having your own garden but don’t have the space or gardening skills to pursue one?
Get to know other community members while enjoying time outdoors growing fruits and vegetables in a local community gardn. City of Calgary Parks and the Calgary Horticultural Society have the resources available to support our community garden. In order for the City of Calgary to invest in our local community garden we are looking for residents to help show support for the potential of a community garden.

Benefits of a Community Garden:
- improved quality of life
- provides a catalyst for neighbourhood and community development
- a great way to meet people with a common interest
- able to grow fresh nutritious fruits and vegetables which taste better
- helps reduce family budgets
- provides an opportunity for exercise and fresh air
- a place for education at various levels
Without community support we will not be able to implement the communitygarden. No experience necessary, only the desire to grow wholesome organic food! If you have any interests regarding the garden please contact ourneighbourhoodgarden@gmail.com
