As noted elsewhere (on this website, if not the world at large) – the Inglewood Community Garden – is currently the largest (contiguous) community garden in Calgary; it also hosts a Communal Garden which is the second largest in-ground vegetable garden in the city dedicated to growing and providing produce to local service organizations and volunteers.

The Inglewood Community Garden offers gardening opportunities to all Calgarians without constraints based upon neighbourhood of residence, physical ability or financial resources.

The Garden boasts an enthusiastic volunteer cadre who, as well as being eminently practical and  knowledgeable gardeners, are socially engaged and actively involved in extending the positive benefits of gardening to our community – through education, donation and co-operation.

The Inglewood Community Garden is located between Colonel Walker School and the Inglewood Community Association grounds…

Hours of operation during the Gardening Season are:

From one hour before sunrise until one hour after sunset.
