New Community Garden

I'm pleased to announce that the non-profit Urban Farm Initiative has been selected to establish and manage a new Collective Garden in Harrington Park on Devonsleigh Boulevard.

The Green Hills Collective Garden, as it will be called, will support food security, pollinator protection, and biodiversity. It will feature a vegetable and herb garden, along with a dedicated pollinator garden designed to attract monarch butterflies and other essential species.

In addition to growing food, the garden will serve as a hub for knowledge-sharing, community-building, and giving back as a portion of the harvest will be donated to local food shelters.

Groundwork has already started, with the site tilled and water line installed, and planting expected to begin right away. I want to give a big shout out to our City’s Public Works staff, especially those in Urban Forestry, Natural Environment, and Horticulture, for making this possible.
