We’re taking registration for our 2025 Community Garden season. We have a number of boxes available for seasonal rental.
We’re asking gardeners to email our general account, [email protected], if they’re interested in renting a raised bed. If you’re a returning gardener, please indicate in your email whether you want to retain your box from last season (2024) – we will do our best to accommodate. As always, we will maintain a waitlist if demand is high. We know there are some repairs needed, and we’ll be resolving this issue in the next few weeks.
The annual rental fee is $10 per box. Payments can be made by cash or debit at the Town Hall, 112 Water Street, Harbour Grace, NL.
The deadline to pay this fee will be Monday, June 2, at 4:30 p.m. Any unpaid boxes will be reallocated to gardeners on the waitlist or to those interested in extra boxes. If you’re interested in any extra boxes when they become available, please note this in your registration email, and we’ll add your name to the waitlist. The deadline for cleaning out your boxes and ‘turning soil’ is July 15. Neglected boxes will be reallocated to those interested, and registration fees are non-refundable.
As you know, we now have a greenhouse for community gardeners! If you want access to the greenhouse, please note this in your registration email. Right now, capacity is limited to 6 gardeners. If interest exceeds this capacity, names will be drawn from a lottery. Those who aren’t selected from the lottery process (if required) will have ‘first dibs’ next season (2026). Those using the greenhouse will be responsible for bringing their own materials (seed trays, etc.).
We will have some soil delivered for June.
The Harbour Grace War Memorial Public Library has brought back the popular seed library project. Drop by the library during opening hours to explore the collection.
We really want to host a harvest showcase and potluck lunch for gardeners this year in September! There’ll be some category prizes to reward your hard work! Stay tuned for further updates on this event.
