What This Site Covers
The guides on this site address three connected areas of community garden operation in Canada:
- Plot agreements: the written records that clarify plot use, maintenance responsibilities, and seasonal handover between growers.
- Soil preparation: scheduled tasks across the fall-winter-spring cycle to maintain soil health in shared beds.
- Crop planning: coordinating what gets planted, when, and in what arrangement across multiple growers.
The content is written for garden coordinators, plot stewards, and individuals who participate in shared growing spaces. It focuses on practical application rather than theory.
Approach to Content
The guides use Canadian climate data, municipal garden program references, and publicly available agricultural resources from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and municipal community garden programs in cities including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal.
The content does not reference proprietary products, commercial services, or affiliated organisations. Where specific programs or tools are mentioned, they are publicly available resources.
