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.
