The Alma & 10th Temporary Community Garden was a temporary growing space in the Point Grey neighbourhood of Vancouver, BC, Canada. The garden was located at the corner of Alma St. and 10th Ave. West. The temporary growing space was assembled in April 2017 and has 100 community garden beds, in addition to seating, garden art and a fruit tree! This allotment garden was for community members to grow food and flowers. The garden was decommissioned in late 2021 to build housing.

Garden Closing FAQ

 Question: I have already paid for the next season, will I get a refund?

Answer:  Yes, please email us directly at garden@communitygardenbuilders, stating your bed number and  that you have pre paid for the next season and we will issue you a refund

Question:  I would like to keep on gardening with you, do you have another bed or garden I can do this?

Answer:  We have several other gardens around the city and they are currently all at capacity.  We highly recommend you registering for their waitlists, as this is the best way to get you into another garden.  You can view our other active gardens here.  Please click on the garden and scroll down to the waitlist registration.

Question:  I have plants in the ground, can I take them before the garden closes?

Answer:  Yes, please grab anything you would wish to keep before the closing date as we can’t assure that they will be there once the garden closes

Question:  What is going to be happening with the soil and garden beds?

Answer:  We will be leaving the soil in the garden.  If you would like to take some, please grab it from the garden before the closing date and bring something to carry it in from the garden.  We will be stacking the bed collars and removing them from the garden for use at another garden when the time comes.

The sponsor for the Alma Temporary Community Garden was Landa, a Vancouver-based development company creating ambitious and innovative buildings in the city.  As builders and visionaries of urban space, Landa believes the transformation of empty lot to community garden will make a positive impact on the neighbourhood. The beautification of this long-dormant site will bring people and nature together in a way that will serve the Kitsilano community, and it will bring a new vitality to the corner of 10th & Alma. For Landa, it's an opportunity to get to know the community and to witness how changes to the urban landscape can make a difference.
