Pemberton Creek Community Garden
The Pemberton Creek Community garden began in 2005 as a Village of Pemberton initiative with 20 garden plots. Over the years, the garden has joined forces with us and grown to 75 plots! The garden is also home to our Grow-It-Forward Garden that grows food for the Pemberton Food Bank and is used as a teaching plot and community space.
Communal tools and hoses are stored in a hand-built garden shed with a green roof. A greenhouse is available to all members of the garden. Each garden plot measures approximately 10 x 20 feet and includes access to shared water taps.
Membership fees for plots are $80 per year, or $50 plus 4 hours of garden volunteering. Annual garden events are hosted to bring the community together to celebrate local food!
