The City offers programs, services and educational information to promote sustainable communities.
Urban Food and Gardening Initiatives
Explore exciting initiatives and programs taking place in your City!
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.
Community gardens promote locally grown organic produce that foster healthy and active lifestyles, while cultivating safer, vibrant, and connected communities.
Do you enjoy gardening, but lack the space to do it? Edmonton’s parks are full of plant life that need tending. Become a Partner in Parks and share your green thumb with all Edmontonians!
Veg Instead! is a City of Edmonton project to encourage and help Edmontonians to grow vegetables for personal consumption and/or sharing, in non-traditional areas of their private property, such as 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.
The Urban Hens program enables residents to keep backyard hens.
