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. Visit guelph.ca/communitygardens to learn more about the Community Gardens Program and the location of existing community gardens in Guelph.
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.

Please take 10 minutes to complete our survey and help us decide if Skov Park and the community will benefit from a proposed community garden.
The City of Guelph is seeking your input for a proposed community garden in Skov Park in 2024. Skov Park is proposed as a site for a permanent community garden because there are interested gardeners nearby and it has access to a water source. The community garden program encourages volunteers to use small areas in City parks as locations for vegetable, small fruit and pollinator gardens that benefit the community. Having vegetables and small fruit grown just around the corner in your park brings a whole new meaning to local food. Pollinator gardens also provide a food source for a variety of wildlife including insects and some bird species.
We will use your feedback to determine if the proposed garden will benefit park users. Once we’ve made a decision we’ll let you know our final results if you leave your contact information or follow this project.
