What is a Community Garden?
Allotment Gardens
Allotment gardens are where participants rent and cultivate individual plots, harvesting their own produce. The City currently operates one allotment garden.
Collective Gardens
The City is working on another community garden located at Vellore Heritage Square. The garden may feature collectively managed or allotment style plots, raised beds that are wheelchair accessible, pollinator friendly habitats and lots more! As of 2022, design of the Vellore Heritage Square garden is pending the construction of a new Firehall at Vellore Heritage Park.
