Community gardens
Gardens help grow healthy communities, so we've partnered with the Central Okanagan Community Gardens Society to provide community gardens within Kelowna. Community gardening is an activity for all ages and abilities. We support community gardening by providing land, while the Central Okanagan Community Gardens society coordinates the gardeners and plots.
You can rent a community garden plot for $40 per season (November to October). To rent a plot in an existing community garden or develop another community garden in your area, visit the Central Okanagan Community Gardens website.

Irrigation water, compost bins and tools are provided at each garden site. Gardeners are encouraged to grow vegetables, herbs and flowering plants. It’s each gardener’s responsibility to maintain their plot and surrounding areas using the principles of Integrated Pest Management. The use of pesticides is restricted in accordance with the City's Pesticide Bylaw.
Additional information about community gardening is available on the Central Okanagan Community Gardens website.
