This consultation is now closed. We will review community feedback and post outcomes here this spring
A new community pollinator garden is in the works for Northumberland Park, located where Northumberland Street meets Kent Street in ward one. If approved, it will be built and ready to plant for spring 2021.
This particular proposal will not include growing food (due to the lack of a water source on site) so the focus will be on growing pollinator-friendly plants. It will provide opportunities to involve the community in a variety of activities such as planting and tending the plants, harvesting, sharing seeds and using plants to make things like herbal teas.
We asked you:
How you feel about the proposed community garden
What you think of the proposed location
What feedback you have about the proposed community garden
How you feel about participating in the garden if it’s approved
Next steps
We will use your feedback to help determine if the proposed garden will benefit the park’s users. Once we’ve made a decision, we will follow up with you to let you know our final results.
About Guelph’s Community Gardens
The community garden program encourages volunteers to use City parks as locations for fruit, vegetable and pollinator gardens that benefit the community. Having fruits and vegetables grown just around the corner in your park brings a whole new meaning to local food. Pollinator gardens provide a food source for a variety of wildlife including insects and some bird species. Visit guelph.ca/communitygardens to learn more.
