Community Gardens

Sandown has built a lively community space where folks can get their hands in the dirt, grow delicious, nutrient-dense food, meet their neighbours, and contribute to the restoration and stewardship of the land.​

​​

The community garden is one acre of 200+ in-ground and raised beds, with wood chip and grass pathways and a central gathering area. Garden beds include supplementary automated irrigation and some shared tools. 

 

The annual cost:

$150 +GST for a 4' x 10' raised bed

$100 +GST for a 3' x 10' in-ground bed

Optional addition: $25 +GST to access the communal herb garden - 

marjoram, thyme, oregano, rosemary.

 

No synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or pressure treated wood is allowed, and garden beds must be kept weeded and mulched.​

​

Members can access their garden at any time, and are asked to please be respectful of the working farm, and to keep the gate closed and the deer out!

 

We look forward to you joining the community!
