The community garden concept is straightforward - provide a small patch of fertile soil and the knowledge and tools to grow a productive garden. Since 2008, the Abbotsford Community Garden has been doing just that. Located on City of Abbotsford property, it is an initiative developed and run by volunteers. We currently have about 150 plots being used for organic gardening by city residents. The ob
jective of the Abbotsford Community Garden is to create space for people to learn about and participate in some of their own food supply - planning it, planting it, helping it grow, and reaping the benefits of their labour. Our community garden has given a unique opportunity to a wide cross-section of Abbotsford residents to come together and garden as neighbours. People of every age, ethnic background and gardening experience are participating. The Abbotsford Community Garden on Delair Road is evolving into the community centre that we originally envisioned.
