The City of Barrie is exploring three new locations for community gardens in its parks and is looking for resident feedback.
Residents have the opportunity to view the concept designs of each of the proposed locations, provide feedback by attending virtual public presentations and completing the Community Garden survey up until Thursday, February 25.
As part of this consultation process, it’s being proposed that the Sunnidale Community Garden be relocated to Riverwood Park instead, due to a lack of water supply.
A Community Garden is a place to grow food and ornamental plants, be physically active, strengthen communities, contribute to self-reliance of the people who work in them, and improve the environment. The Community Garden Program currently regulates the operation of four community gardens in Barrie. To learn more about Barrie’s community gardens, visit barrie.ca/communitygardens.(External link)
The purpose of the survey and consultation is to support design, decision making and staff recommendations, as well as provide guidance on future designs based on gardener demand and preferences.
