The Mid-Sun Community Garden was founded in May 2009. A group of enthusiastic residents of the Midnapore and Sundance communities of Calgary banded together to help build thirty 8′ x 4′ raised beds for the grassy area on the north side of the Mid-Sun Community Centre. In 2010, 20 more beds were added, as well as several perimeter fruit trees, Saskatoon bushes, and other landscaping considerations.
There are now over 60 garden beds and an ever-expanding, enthusiastic garden committee made up of over 20 dedicated volunteers.
“We work together – grow together – learn together.”
The garden creates a spirit of belonging and cooperation as we volunteer for team roles and general work bees to enhance of the garden area and its features; prepare the garden for each season; and share gardening tips to enhance plant choices and productivity. We celebrate individuality and Inclusiveness with gardeners of all ages, including children from Mid-Sun Day Care and Summer Camps.
