Pine Street Community Gardens

A Bit of Dirt on our Garden

It wasn't too long ago that blackberry bushes and wild grasses covered the area that is now home to the 45 garden plots and 27 orchard plots we call the Pine Street Community Gardens. We are one of the newest community gardens in Vancouver, becoming a non- profit Society in 2006. Our board consists of 5 volunteer board members, several subcommittees and a team of dedicated garden volunteers. The City of Vancouver installed a water hook-up for us in the spring of 2007 and this year we celebrate the installation of a waterline system that runs water within feet of each garden plot. Our gardens are home to two honeybee hives, a communal compost and one of Vancouver's only orchard garden projects. We are happy to be a part of the Kitsilano community and encourage you to enjoy our gardens as much as we do.

The Pine Street Community Garden Society works . . .

to support urban agriculture by creating a public garden space for members to grow a decorative and/or edible garden.

to foster a sense of community and to develop a public gathering place through gardening and garden related events.

to provide educational opportunities to learn about urban agriculture in an interactive garden environment.
