We build, maintain and manage temporary community gardens and dog parks.
Community Garden Builders® is a Vancouver-based social enterprise with a mission to transform vacant property into temporary community gardens. Our projects represent a unique partnership between landowners and community members, providing much needed garden space for the community as well as interim property management for landowners. Using mobile garden beds set atop shipping pallets, we create accessible urban spaces for local community members to grow their own food and flowers.
Projects are temporary and have a lifetime of 1-5 years, and we see them through each step of the way: consultation, design, build, installation, community engagement, garden management and eventual garden removal.

OUR GARDENS & GARDEN FEATURES
See our Gardens page for location, details and photos of all our raised garden projects.
Community Garden Builders® is continually learning what it means to be a good neighbour and how to create accessible, safe spaces for everyone. We acknowledge that community garden spaces are not inherently inclusive without intentional and purposeful actions.
Every person is welcome to our gardens. Every gardener is welcome to come as they are.
Dear Garden Managers,
We understand that managing a community garden is an administrative burden that takes time away from growing food and connecting with neighbours. That’s why we built Community Garden App!
Our secure web platform offers a suite of digital tools to community garden managers—online payment, data collection and information management in one easy-to-use dashboard.
Our community garden management platform makes it easy to sign up gardeners, collect fees online and track who’s registered and paid.
