Community gardens in Calgary

When travelling through Downtown Calgary, I encountered this community garden. These are company controlled greenspaces that are tended to by volunteers. The harvest goes to charitable organizations.

From the Downtown Calgary website -

Gardening provides tremendous psychological and physical benefits for individuals. And community gardening is also good for your business.
  • A more vital downtown means a better work environment
  • Giving back to the community is great for corporate morale
  • Garden is a great tool for team building
  • Your corporate pride will grow with your crops
