We are indeed a fortunate neighbourhood to have a number of community gardens in our area, a long-standing one, a couple of new ones, and another one in the planning stages. The Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Garden, at Sunnyhill Lane and 4 Street NW, was established in 1989, the Kensington Community First Garden, adjacent to the HSCA building at 1320 5 Avenue NW, broke ground in May 2011, the St. Barnabas Community Garden also started in the spring of 2011, and a new West Hillhurst Community Garden is hoping to start gardening in the spring of 2012.
For more information about each of our community gardens, see their specific webpages. For information about either the Hillhurst Sunnyside CG or the Kensington Community First Garden, both of which are affiliated with the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association, or to get on their waiting lists, please contact the HSCA front office person at 403.283.0554 x232.
