Join us at the garden site at the upper end of Jarvis Street, from 1-1:30 p.m. this Saturday, May 17, for our long-awaited groundbreaking celebration.

Aside from the satisfying sound of shovel striking dirt, we’ll have a pop-up tent housing a map of the garden with plot layouts, general information about garden membership, and a sign-up form for reserving your plot or confirming your interest if you’re already signed up.

Importantly, we also will be signing up volunteers to help with the initial construction phase of the garden, which will begin immediately. We expect to have three demonstration plots completed as soon as possible and planted for this summer’s growing season.

Member plots will be assigned next January or February for the full opening of the garden, spring of 2026. Initially, they’ll be assigned on a first come, first served basis, so don’t delay. Sign up on Saturday, or reply to this email with your name and contact information to be added to the list, or confirm your previous interest in a plot.
