South Pointe Community Garden

May 4, 2021

A large piece of land has been made available to the community for use as a community garden by Qualico Developers. This is not a ‘city run’ garden as there is no available city land in the Waverly West ward to install a community garden. As this is the first year, there will be a few humps and bumps to get the garden set up and hopefully – a group of ‘gardening leaders’ will eventually run it!
