Neighbours helping each other to grow since 2010.
Our shared space at the Red Brick Common is a place where we grow gardens together, learn from each other, and work towards a healthier body, soil, and environment.
Our community benefits from stronger relationships and shared learning. Our environment benefits from natural practices. Our families benefit from education, increased self-reliance, physical activity, and social interaction. Gardening in community enhances the quality of life for all involved.
About our community garden
Garden policies
We are non-smoking, scent-free, and pet-free.
All gardening families contribute to the soil and to the site through daily tasks and work bees; all ages help out.
The site is used for public education, our gardening practices are regenerative-working with nature to improve soil and plant health:
- Soil is rarely left bare;
- Careful and attentive watering;
- Keep living roots in the soil as much as possible; all plants contribute;
- Biodiversity is enhanced by amendments and polyculture; and
- Biocide-free
Returning families get first right of refusal on their bed; new gardeners are accepted on first-come, first-served basis.
Beds that show no sign of planting by May 15 will be contacted and may be reclaimed.
Annual fee is $35 + GST ($36.75) per bed, cash, credit card, e-transfer, or PayPal; limit of two beds per household – based on availability and ability.
The fee includes other garden-related programs at no extra charge.
The site is publicly accessible and the Town of Stony Plain and the Red Brick Common are not responsible for damage.
