From an awesome June 1 build party, to a quick planting turnaround, a fabulous herb garden (free herbs for all!), a new shed/water infrastructure/tools, as well as a wonderful September Block/Garden party, the 2025 garden year can be declared a success - with a "sold-out" garden of 12 boxes!

With thanks to Youth Central, the Calgary Foundation, Federation of Calgary Communities and the City of Calgary, as well as many volunteers from the community, we have created something special and quite beautiful. Also, thank you, everyone, for contributing to our community engagement!

For 2026, we have some funding, and based on interest, hope to expand south by 6-9 boxes. Please register your interest for a 2026 box (annual rental only $40), with [email protected]

🌟 What. A. Night! 🌟

Huge thanks to everyone who came out and made the block party such a blast. The weather was perfect, the garden was glowing, and the vibes were pure magic. ✨

Deepest gratitude to all the amazing people who helped put this together—your time, energy, and generosity made the night unforgettable.

A big shout out to The Archives Studios for snapping gorgeous photos all night long—completely donating their time to us! 📸 If you know they caught you on camera, send them a message on Facebook or Instagram and they’ll happily hook you up with the originals.

And of course, cheers to City & Country Urban Winery for keeping the glasses full with wine and beer at cost. 🍷 Both of these amazing local businesses are proud Parkhill partners, so don’t forget to ask for your Parkhill discount when you visit them!

Until next time, Parkhill Community!
