It's nice to seed you - we appreciate your interest berry much in the RMWB community gardens!
Community gardens create opportunities for residents to enjoy the outdoors while growing their own fruits, vegetables and flowers. They contribute to the beautification of neighbourhoods and the health and well-being of communities.
RMWB community gardens are created by the Municipality, then planted and maintained annually by volunteer gardeners. If you are interested in gardening and maintaining a plot, please review the application process.

The municipality is fortunate to have a variety of community gardens sprouting up every year. There are RMWB community gardens, school gardens and privately-operated gardens.
Find all RMWB community gardens and specific details about each garden on the Parks Map here.
If visiting a community garden, enjoy your thyme admiring the plants, but please only look and don't pick anything, unless you're a member of the garden. Pets must be on-leash at all times when at the garden. If viewing from a vehicle, please exercise caution, drive slowly and follow all posted signage.
