Canmore Community Gardening

10/06/2026

The Canmore community garden is about so much more than growing vegetables and flowers—it’s about engagement and cooperation, creating social interactions, the development of friendships and an enhanced sense of community and belonging.
Every conversation over a garden bed, every shared harvest, and every new friendship strengthens the roots of our community. 🌻
Because when we grow together, we grow more than food—we grow belonging, connection, and community. 💚
This year we thank the Alberta Blue Cross Community Wellbeing grant program for supporting us grow vegetables, flowers and community.

🫜 🍅🥕 Holy harvest! Our garden is showing OFF! 🥕🍅🫜

The veggies are bigger, the beds are fuller, and the garden has been overflowing with goodness! 🥒🥬🫑

A huge shout-out to all our amazing garden volunteers who planted, watered, weeded, picked, and probably talked to our veggies a little too much. 😂🌱 Your hard work has turned tiny seeds into a seriously impressive harvest!

There’s nothing better than growing good food, sharing the bounty, and having a whole lot of fun along the way. 💚

West Coast Seeds provided many of our seeds and lovely box of complementary seeds to keep us growing all summer long. Thanks WCS! 💚 ♥️ 💚

Look at what we grew—together! 🎉🌻

Congratulations to Michelle for guessing the the weight of Big Chungas the Red Russian garlic. He weighed in at 429 gms. Michelle took Chungas home for her clever guess.

During our Saturday get together in the garden, the Big Hug tomato is up for grabs in our next Guess the Weight contest. Guess her weight and you can take her home.

Hey Everyone! Brooke here, your newest Board Member. I want to start a bit of a series on some recipes for some of our wonderful harvests this season!

First up is Spaghetti Aglio e Olio - a garlic-forward dish from our AMAZING garlic harvest last week!

I have created a Google Document where I will be putting all the recipes - it is linked below. If that doesn’t work for you, you can email me at [email protected] and I will personally email it to you.
