The Blenkinsop Community Agricultural Centre will be home to hundreds of garden plots on nearly 14 acres of farmland in Saanich as early as March 1.
A massive new community garden, the Blenkinsop Community Agricultural Centre, is set to open in Saanich this spring, possibly as early as March 1. Spanning nearly 14 acres, the garden will offer hundreds of plots for lease at $10 per month. Organizers, who have worked on the project for four years, anticipate high demand, especially from Victoria residents facing long waitlists. The garden aims to support community food initiatives, potentially sell produce locally, and offer gardening training.
