Welcome to the Gorge Park Community Garden Society
The Gardens' First Summer - 2015
Visitors to the park comment on the beauty that has been created and the increased sense of community the Gardens has added to the neighbourhood.
The Gardens are 100% volunteer run. All members participate in tending to the Gardens in some way. Come join us!
Gorge Park Community Garden Society (GPCGS) is located in a beautiful public park in Saanich, BC.
In January of 2015 we started building our first vegetable beds and we've come a long way since!
Within the rustic spit-rail fence that surrounds the site, you’ll find a number of different spaces.
-
allotment beds rented by members to grow their own food
-
communal growing areas brimming with herbs, fruit, and vegetables for shared use by garden members, for neighbourhood food programs, and for those passing through to lightly sample
-
places for people to gather and visit
-
areas designed specifically with pollinators in mind
-
water conservation features such as berms, swales and a rain garden
Within the Gardens we host Plant Sales, Gardeners' Gatherings, Educational Workshops and more.
GPCGS members are a mix of both allotment holders and those without allotments who join to care for the communal areas only. Our gardeners, young and older, come from nearby condos, houses, and apartments along Gorge Road and from neighbourhoods throughout Greater Victoria.
