Have your say by February 28, 2025
February 10, 2025 – Got a green thumb? We want to hear your feedback on the layout and locations for a new community garden proposed for Golfview Park and a pollinator habitat proposed for a site near Preservation Park off Southcreek Trail.
What is a community garden?
The proposed community garden at Golfview Park will be a traditional community garden, where you can rent a plot to grow and harvest your own fruits, vegetables, herbs or flowers. Community gardens are vibrant spaces that not only offer an opportunity for neighbours to work together to create a local food source, but also foster a sense of community and connection with nature.
What is a pollinator habitat?
Pollinator habitats feature plants and flowers that provide nectar and pollen resources for bees and other important insects. They can also provide food and habitat for other wildlife or for stormwater infiltration. Volunteers can help maintain the gardens and help inspire people to create pollinator gardens on their own properties.
We want your feedback
Share your thoughts about the proposals on haveyoursay.guelph.ca/community-gardens by February 28.
Provide feedback on:
- How you feel about the proposed community garden and pollinator habitat
- Proposed locations for the garden/habitat
- Whether you would participate in a community garden or pollinator habitat

We’ll use your feedback along with data from other Guelph community gardens to help decide if the proposed garden will benefit users.
