For years a small group of us have dreamed of there being a community garden in the field behind our houses.  We love gardening and we believe that anyone is capable of growing their own vegetables if given the space and a little instruction. It's an ideal location as it gets a lot of sun and there is plenty of space to have a garden. 

In 2022, with the rising costs of food and us being in the right time of our lives to be able to take this on, we decided it was the year to start the garden!  In Spring 2023, after approval from City of St. John's Healthy Community department, we started with six 4X8ft garden beds,  a pea trellis, a pollinator garden, a composter for garden trimmings, rain barrel, storage bench and Little Free Library Bench. In Fall 2023 we added three more 4X8ft garden beds and a rhubarb patch.  

For the 2025 growing season we rented out 6 garden beds and had three communal beds. With the lack of rain this summer in combination with the high temperatures the gardens weren't as successful as previous years.  In the communal part of the garden we grew potatoes, and carrots to donate.  We gave everything harvested to Cowan Heights Elementary School and they distributed it to families in need. 

We have Garden plots/beds available to rent for the 2026 season.
