“At the outset of the pandemic, the community association recognized that we really need to spring into action,” said Ted Knudtson, vice president of the CBMCA.
Although the community already has two gardens, they’re often waitlisted. The Possible Garden was created so that everyone in the neighbourhood could have a chance to garden.
Knudtson said this was an ideal time as there’s been a desire to return to self-sustaining practices.
“People are really focused on starting their own gardens, so it’s a great time to have the conversation,” he said.
The project had the support of the community, the city and ward councillors.
“The Ward 11 office tips our hats to the CBMCA for this initiative in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the ward office wrote in an email.
