Community Garden
The Banff Trail Community Garden was established in 2010 and has been a great place for community members to grow fresh vegetables, get to know community members of all ages, and contribute to creating a beautiful space to be enjoyed by all.
4 perennial beds
30 raised beds
3+ communal beds
Those who join the garden have access to a raised bed for their own produce and also agree to contributing to the care of the shared spaces throughout the season.
Three times a year we gather for work days (2 in the spring and one in the fall) and members also sign up for a week of garden care between May and September where they weed and water the communal spaces.
We are so thankful for all the people who happily give their time to weeding, watering, mowing and turning the compost. It takes many hands to maintain this beautiful space.
