History

This garden was built in 2010 with materials, labour and equipment support by The City of Calgary Parks and by the donations and hard work of Community Crop volunteers. Additional financial support was contributed by Chef Wade Silous of In Fuse Catering and local musicians and artists who donated their talents in a benefit concert. In 2014, 10 new four by ten foot garden plots were added to the east side of the property. There are plans to provide more benches, mature trees and a building mural.
