Community gardens promote food self-sufficiency, access to fresh foods, consumption of vegetables and fruits, and awareness and appreciation of local food production. Community gardens help bring together people in a community and can provide an outdoor activity for the whole family.

Check out the Local Programs Map to find out where all the community gardens in the province are located.

Did you know there is a Community Garden Support Program? This program exists to establish new community gardens and enhance existing community gardens.

You can also check out the Active NL fund, which provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, communities and schools to support healthy living initiatives. This program can also provide funding for community gardens and other community food initiatives.

There are six Regional Wellness Coalitions in the province that also provide grants to support groups and organizations in creating projects like community gardens.
