Delton and Westwood had no permanent community gardens, so residents created new gardening spaces on public and private land. Learn more about the City’s various urban gardening initiatives at edmonton.ca/urbangardens

Woodland Garden:

A group of neighbours have constructed a garden on underused land next to an apartment building in Delton with their landlord’s consent. This is a great way to convert water-hungry lawns to local food production. They’ve named it the Woodland Garden.

League pop-up gardens:

The City of Edmonton has a Pop-Up Community Garden program to help increase access to fresh food while providing opportunities for outdoor recreation, community involvement and wellness. Delton Community League has a garden for the first time; this is the second year for Westwood Community League’s pop-up garden.
