The Garden Path Society of Calgary is a Calgary based non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to administer the Inglewood Community Garden.

The Inglewood Community Garden (under other names) has been active in the historic community of Inglewood since 2003. It is presently 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 providing produce to local service organizations and garden volunteers.

What we – the Garden Path Society of Calgary – do is manage the Inglewood Community Garden.

What the Inglewood Community Garden does – is maintain 110 raised bed rental plots and  0.18 hectare [nearly 1/2 an acre] of Communal Garden dedicated to providing produce to local community service organizations and garden volunteers.

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 and which is 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…
…………………………

The Garden’s Season begins as early as it is possible to work the ground in the Spring and  continues until putting the plots to bed – around Thanksgiving in the Fall.

Hours of operation during the Gardening Season are:

From one hour before sunrise until one hour after sunset.
