New Community Gardens
A new community garden is being built in Skov Park.
Thanks to the community and the many people who shared their thoughts to help us make this garden a wonderful addition to the park.
Between February 7 and 28, 2024, We asked the community:
- How you feel about the proposed community garden
- What you think of the two location options identified for the park
- What feedback you have about the proposed community garden
- How you feel about participating in the garden if approved.
Read the full engagement summary here.
Next steps
We‘ll work with the team who had proposed the garden to finalize plans and to address the comments and any concerns we've heard. We'll begin construction in the coming weeks with a plan to be ready in time for spring planting.
About Guelph’s Community Gardens
The community garden program encourages volunteers to use City parks as locations for vegetable, fruit and pollinator gardens. Vegetable and fruit gardens provide a local food source, and pollinator gardens benefit a variety of wildlife including insects and some bird species.
