Community Events CLOSE
East Village Community Garden
On Sunday, May 31st, local residents, CMLC employees, the ward alderman and local social agency representatives came together to transform an empty lot at the corner of 7th Avenue and 5th Street S.E. into a temporary community garden.
An ideal gathering place for socializing and relaxing, the creation of the new garden is a vital step in creating a new social hub of activity for residents of every age and every walk of life to enjoy. Making the community garden a new focal point in East Village has given the residents a place to garden, break down barriers with fellow neighbours and begin to imagine what their future neighbourhood will look like.
The garden will provide a sense of community, contribute to the neighbourhood’s beautification and provide a unique connection to the local environment. A permanent community garden will eventually be established in another location as part of the overall development plan for East Village.
