WHAT IS THE MID-SUN COMMUNITY GARDEN?
The Mid-Sun Community Garden is much more than a collection of simple garden beds for rent. We are a dynamic community of gardeners of all skill levels who grow together as we learn new things from each other and develop new friendships.
In addition to our own garden beds, we all support and have access to a growing selection of fruits and berries, as well as culinary and medicinal herbs. A number of in-garden social events are scheduled each season, often with demonstrations, and we sponsor several formal classroom sessions each year at minimal cost.
We support our communities by jointly maintaining a number of garden beds for donations to food banks. Also, a new sidewalk facing hedge will make cherries, saskatoons and black currants available to the general public once they mature.
Sound like something you would like to be involved with as a renter, or as a volunteer, or as a sponsor?
Applications to rent a garden bed for the 2024 season will be emailed to returning gardeners March 01.
If you are contemplating joining us this summer you can email us now and request to be put on our waitlist to also receive application details via email on March 01.

Who We Are
The Mid-Sun Community Garden was founded in May 2009. A group of interested and enthusiastic Mid-Sun residents banded together to help build thirty 4′ x 8′ raised beds in the grassy area on the north side of the community centre.
In 2010, twenty more beds were added, as well as several perimeter fruit trees, Saskatoon bushes, and other landscaping considerations. There are now 62 garden beds and an ever expanding group of over 50 enthusiastic gardeners.
