Residents in Nanaimo have the option to utilize one of the community gardens located in city parks.
In the past six years, the city supported the development of five community gardens in city parks – Beaufort Park, Smugglers Park on Protection Island, Beban Park, Pawson Park and Forest Drive Park.
Those interested in renting a space can visit the Community Gardens page on the city website for contact information. Neighbourhoods interested in starting up a community garden can contact the City of Nanaimo at askpre@nanaimo.ca.
