Where seeds are planted, community grows
Gorge Park Community Garden Society (GPCGS) is a welcoming space open to all. It's a place where members gather to grow food, support pollinator habitat, attend educational workshops, and socialize. There are many ways to join in!
Membership
Membership allows you to be involved in the shaping of the Gardens, whether that's working on-site, attending planning meetings, or helping organize an event. Members do everything from making compost to making the budget. See what teams you might be interested in.
​
Membership costs only $15.00 per year. You are welcome to become a member while you wait for an allotment. We also have members with yards of their own who take out a membership to meet people while helping on one of our task teams.
Join us in the Gardens where there’s always something to do or admire. Contact us to be added to our Allotment Wait List or to become a Garden member.​
