Vancouver Community Gardens Flourish

With the high population density that Vancouver is facing, people are living in homes with no yards or no garden space. Condo living with its limitations is now the "in thing".

To meet the need for people to get back to nature and grow their own food, community gardens play an important role.

Vancouver has 74 community gardens. When you go to the City of Vancouver community gardens website, you'll find the locations and contact information to join.

It's amazing how much food can be grown in a community garden plot. Many gardeners don't just grow food for themselves, they share freely with others. Participants in these gardens are helpful and share green thumb information, seedlings and crops with one another.

Some Vancouver residents also open their yards to interested gardener's to grow food. It seems that if someone is looking for a small plot to grow some food, a space comes available.

Community gardens help city people to Eat Fresh and Eat Local by growing their own food.
