This program is an opportunity for Edmontonians to add character to their neighbourhoods by beautifying the City’s strip of land between the sidewalk and the road.
The City utilizes City-owned land to create additional garden space for growing food for donation. City employees cultivate the gardens and the produce is then sent to Edmonton’s Food Bank.
Community garden promote locally grown, organic produce, fostering healthy and active lifestyles while cultivating safer, vibrant, and connected communities.
Founded in 1999 by the Edmonton Horticultural Society, Canadian Union of Postal Workers, and the City of Edmonton to celebrate attractive front yards in Edmonton.
Do you enjoy gardening, but lack the space to do it? Edmonton’s parks are full of plant life that needs tending. Become a Partner in Parks and share your green thumb with all Edmontonians!
The City of Edmonton is expanding the number of community gardens through the pop-up community garden pilot.
The Veg Instead! project encourages and helps Edmontonians grow vegetables on their private property in front and side yards and balconies.
Urban beekeeping can help improve pollination for plants, which in turn helps to improve the overall biodiversity and resilience of our city.
