The City is helping local charities and non-profit organizations to build or expand community gardens.
Until March 10th, eligible applicants can apply for matching funds from the City to cover start-up costs including lumber, soil, seeds and other equipment and materials.
Development Horticultural Technician Ilyse Norton is enthusiastic about the project.
"Community gardens offer many benefits beyond access to healthy food, including physical activity, opportunities for people to teach and learn about gardening and improving the all-round wellbeing of community members."
The City hopes that this funding will encourage more community gardens to grow produce for donation or personal consumption.
Projects that are approved for funding must be completed by October 31st.
