Tanglewood Park Community Garden
The Tanglewood Park Community Garden was created in 2018. The garden offers a great place to grow fresh organic veggies, exercise your mind and body and meet your neighbours in a 100% organic garden. The garden boxes are available from May 1 – October 15.
Our Community Garden is approved and sponsored by Just Foods and the City of Ottawa Public Health guidelines.
The garden is closed to the general public, the community garden can only be accessed by registered garden members, staff and volunteers. Garden members need to follow Ottawa Public Health guidelines that are in place at this time.
We have implemented Raised/Wood Boxes (4 by 12 ft) for gardening. Some plots are available to rent. Cost to rent a raised garden box is $21.00/season for THCA-members and $25.00/season for non-members.
The Garden Guide is a product of the Community Gardening Network of Ottawa. This is a beginner guide on the basics of gardening in the Ottawa region, from soil, composting and seeds to harvesting and preparing for winter.
