What is a Community Garden?
A community garden is a shared green space cared for by community members for their collective use and enjoyment. Participants grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers while sharing knowledge, building skills, and connecting with others. Community gardens also provide opportunities for social interaction and contribute to the beauty and sustainability of the surrounding environment.
What’s New This Year
The City of Camrose has partnered with Camrose & District Family and Community Support Services (CDFCSS) to support the garden.
