What is the Garden Cities Project

Garden Cities is a community in the Greater Moncton area that comes together to foster the culture of growing food close to home.


Whether it’s gardening in your yard, planting in a shared space, or foraging for wild edibles, we value learning to grow, share and prepare local food for sustainable, healthy living.


We recognize edible landscapes as places to collectively transcend socioeconomic and cultural differences. Our common passion leads us to gather in nature, as part of it, where a diversity of people, plants, pollinators, and more unite!

Why We Exist

The Garden Cities Project exists to increase social food gardens and edible landscapes in New Brunswick, focused largely in the Greater Moncton area.


We support learning to grow and wild forage food and herbal medicines, and preparing, storing local food in affordable ways for healthy eating.


We believe in the power of healthy, local food and gardens as places to transform and transcend socioeconomic, cultural differences - as a place of gathering that brings together people from all backgrounds.

Benefits of Gardening in the City

Grow healthy food

There’s an increase in unhealthy foods as fast foods and instant meals find themselves replacing whole foods in our increasingly busy lives. Growing your own food means being able to provide yourself with a nearby supply of healthy and nutritious food

You can grow food year-round

When growing in the city, you have so many options as to where you can grow the food and worry less about environmental conditions like drought or cold weather.

Building community:

The community around urban gardening is strong in Moncton, with many community gardens springing up. Join the community that just keeps giving!

Reduce food insecurity

Food deserts are areas where healthy food is either not available or not affordable to the area’s residents. Growing your own food can help alleviate the food desert by providing an opportunity to grow and harvest their own fresh and nutritious food at a fraction of what the same produce would otherwise cost in a grocery store.

Grow sustainable food

Urban gardening helps to reduce the carbon footprint of the food system by reducing large amounts of fossil fuel consumption and efficiently using water.

Knowledge Sharing

Growing food close to home is a great opportunity to share tips and tricks with your friends and neighbours - everyone can learn from each other's experiences.

Our common passion leads us to gather in nature, as part of it, where a diversity of people, plants, pollinators, and more unite!
