Community Gardens
Vegetable Plots
The Stratford Community Gardens first opened on Bunbury Road in 2013 thanks to a partnership between the Town of Stratford and the Stratford Area Watershed Improvement Group and funding from Wal-Mart Evergreen Fund.
In 2017 the gardens were expanded to include an additional 30 plots.
In 2021 the Bunbury gardens were further expanded to include 16 additional plots and in 2022 a satellite garden in Stonington was created to include 6 plots. These expansions were funded by the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty.
We now run at full capacity each year, but don’t be discouraged! We keep a waiting list for those that are interested in having a plot and do our best to accommodate anyone who wants to garden. Email us at stratfordcommunitgardens@gmail.com or call 902-367-3605 if you are interested in renting a plot.
No personal equipment or background knowledge of gardening is required to rent a plot. All of the tools you will need (water, wheelbarrow, rake, hand tools, etc.) are provided with your registration and available to you at the Community Gardens.
The season runs from May 15th to October 31st each year. Unallocated plots are given to new gardeners beginning in February.
