Community Gardens

A Community Garden is a unique opportunity available to City of Brampton residents whereby a group of community members will join together to manage and maintain an identified plot of land for the purpose of growing fresh produce and plants.

The community garden program runs every year from May 1 to October 31 and is for non-commercial use only.
