Gabriola Commons – new garden?
This seems to be new, yes? Looks like the Gabriola Commons is creating yet another space for a community garden.
I’m a little tempted to apply for a plot. But then, I can garden at home, so maybe I should leave those Gabriola Commons spaces for people who don’t have the home-gardening option. I’d just like some space to grow wheat and stuff like that, that’s all.

The fenced space in your photo is actually the Kitchen Garden which has been around for at least a couple of years. But we did recently add 23 new allotment plots to the south field and they are 400 sq. ft. so plenty big enough to try some wheat. There’s still a few available so come join us! And speaking of wheat, we also just cleared and plowed approximately a quarter of an acre of ground just south of the original Community Gardens where we will be sowing six varieties of grain. When it’s all harvested, we’ll have a big bread baking party.
