Day 1 Urban Farm

The Garden Project is a ‘growing’ effort by Community Services to convert unused land into a community teaching garden and working urban farm in the heart of Downtown Abbotsford. It’s a pilot project designed to highlight that personal and civic quality of life is 'rooted' in our food supply

The newly reclaimed site is located at 2408 Montvue Ave, next to the Community Services buildings. It’s quickly becoming a vibrant addition to the neighbourhood. The upcoming plans for the site are to provide locally grown produce, host community events & workshops, and be a space for adults and children interested in learning about, and growing fresh, nutritious food you can enjoy eating.

Some of the current winter crops include cabbages, celery, garlic, spinach, mustard greens, and celery root. The first fruit trees are in – although they need another season or two before enjoying the apples and plums. Spring planting is scheduled to start in early March 2016.
