If you are an avid gardener or enjoy participating in sustainable community involvements, learn how to join or start one of your own community gardens in the City of St. Catharines.
Community Garden Funding Application
Looking to start up a new community garden or grow an existing one? The City offers funding to help community gardens take root.
How it works
The Community Gardens Funding Program provides matching funds for the capital costs of community gardens in St. Catharines.
Incorporated charities, not-for-profit groups, and unincorporated associations or neighbourhood groups can apply for matching funds from the City to cover up to half of eligible start-up costs. This includes lumber, soil, seeds, rain barrels and other materials and necessary tools.
How to apply
You can apply for the next round of Community Garden Funding beginning in March 2025. Check back here for details.
