Program Discontinuation
As part of the 2024 Fall Supplemental Operating Budget Adjustment and based on budget decisions approved by Council, the Pop-Up Community Gardens Program has been discontinued as of 2025.
The program started during the pandemic to provide more spaces for gardening and to contribute to community building and food security. The City will no longer provide planters, soil and water delivery to program participants.
Groups interested in a temporary or permanent community garden can instead follow the regular Community Gardens process.
Groups will need to provide the materials themselves for the garden and must enter into a Community Garden agreement with the City.
