Community Gardens

The EGP works to both develop and support new and existing community gardens on the North Shore.

The Queen Mary Community Garden is located at 230 West Keith Road in North Vancouver. The garden, officially opened spring 2010, has 58 allotment plots in addition to an Edible Garden Project Demonstration Garden, and 4 large plots for Queen Mary Elementary Students. Garden plots are available to residents of the City of North Vancouver.

All plots are currently assigned to gardeners, and a waitlist of interested gardeners is being taken. for more information, or to get on the waitlist for a plot contact: queenmarygarden@gmail.com

The North Shore Community Garden Society has been awarded a grant to develop the District’s first official community garden. They are proposing a portion of West Lillooet Park (east of Old Lillooet Rd and just north of the Holiday Inn) as the location for the garden. This garden will only be built with full community support. Learn more, provide feedback, get involved in planning or indicate your interest in a garden plot.

5-7pm

Jaycee House, 1251 Lillooet Road.

The North Shore Community Garden Society – a partner of the EGP- exists to oversee the use and management of new community gardens on the North Shore.

The aim of the Society is:

• to promote a diversity of approaches to sustainable gardening
• to encourage co-operation, education and community involvement
• to share and develop knowledge and practice of organic gardening
• to promote well-being by providing access to garden space, and to public gathering space.
• to establish and maintain a sustainable method of biodiverse gardening.
