Okanagan Community Gardens
“Gardens
Grow Healthy Communities”
Community
gardening is an activity for persons of all ages and abilities. A
plot of land is provided to interested gardeners at the cost of fifteen
dollars/season (March to November) to help cover the cost of the
garden’s upkeep. Gardeners have access to irrigation water,
compost bins, tools and information at each garden site. Gardeners
are encouraged to grow vegetables, herbs and flowering plants. It
is each gardener’s responsibility to maintain their plot and
surrounding areas using the principles of Integrated Pest Management.
The use of pesticides in all COCG gardens is discouraged. Community
activities and work bees are an integral part of each garden, providing
opportunities for fun and community building.
