Vancouver's Community Gardens
Urban dwellers in search of plots beyond the balcony can become a part
of Vancouver's growing tribe of community gardeners. The gardens' tenure
on parkland are guided by a Park Board approved Community
Gardens Policy.
These community gardens are located on parkland but organized through
neighbourhood groups. Find the nearest site available to you where carefully
tended beds bring forth the glory of the harvest, be they edible or
floral by nature! In addition, tilling the soil next to people within
your own community can reap the even larger benefits of friendship as
neighbour meets neighbour while sharing a common outdoor pursuit.
