Our first significant snowfall of the season appeared in late November and buried the community garden beds in a white blanket. Overwintering crops have been planted, and the garden is resting now. The 2025 season was very productive, with the huge July rainfall contributing to a bumper harvest.
Several of the deteriorating bedframes were replaced and the season ended with an enjoyable and successful harvest potluck dinner. Most of our current gardeners have already rented their garden beds for next year but several will not be returning so there will be many of our raised garden beds available for rent to newcomers in 2026. Gardeners do not have to live in Brentwood but are required to purchase a Brentwood Community Association membership.
If you are interested in joining our group and experiencing the enjoyment as well as the challenges of growing produce in Calgary’s often unpredictable weather, bed rentals will be available on a first-come-first-served basis, starting on February 1, 2026.
