Community Gardens in Centre Wellington |

There are seven known community gardens in Centre Wellington. Four are built on church property, one is by the Elora Public School playground, one is a yard-share on private property and one is on township land adjacent to the Centre Wellington Sportsplex in Fergus.

These gardens emerged independent of one another and continue to operate independently. The making of each garden was initiated by a person or people who saw the value of community gardens and sought permission from the landowner to convert a sodded surface into a garden to grow food. The resulting activities have built social connections, enhanced and animated green spaces and continue to foster environmental and nutritional education. Community gardens provide access to a garden to grow your own food.

The Community Garden Network provides support to the gardeners and facilitates the expansion or development of new community gardens.
