A new community garden is proposed for Skov Park. If approved, it will be built and ready to plant for Spring 2024.

Overhead map of Skov Park showing two possible locations for the community garden, one near the playground along Eramosa road and one near the tennis courts in the centre of the park.

Between February 7 and 28, 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.

Next steps

We‘ll use your feedback to help determine if the proposed garden will benefit park users and the neighbourhood. We'll be back later this spring with a report about what we heard and what we're doing. stay tuned, or follow this project by subscribing to this page.

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.
