The BRCA Rooftop Garden is gearing up for another season of growing together with a focus on creating community connections!
The garden, located on the roof of the BRCA Community Hall, has 25 individual small and large plots.
Applications for the 2026 growing season are open from March 1 to April 1, 2026. You must be a resident of Bridgeland-Riverside and a member of the Bridgeland-Riverside Community Association to be eligible to apply for a garden plot.
Preference is given to persons living in apartments and condos. Individual gardeners are responsible for weeding, watering, caring for, and harvesting throughout the season on their specific plot, and must participate in the spring and fall clean-ups. Applications are processed in the order in which they are received.
Plot fees cover soil and compost. These are the costs for the 2026 gardening season:
• Large plots: $45
• Small plots: $35
To offer barrier-free gardening, we have a limited number of plots which we can offer at a reduced rate. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
Once the application period is open, the Gardener Application Form will be found at https://brcacalgary.org/programs/rooftop-garden/.
Help Out with the Rooftop Garden: Plant Together, Grow Together
Our rooftop garden is looking for helping hands! We are currently recruiting two Garden Guardians to support the Maintenance Lead with regular upkeep, including weeding and spring or fall cleanups.
