We are in uncharted territory.  RPCG contributes to many food security initiatives in the area, and we see this as vital for our community. We are determining how we can maintain this contribution to our community, while keeping everyone safe. 

Until further notice, we cannot hold Work Parties, host Workshops or Lunch Events.  To keep up with needed site work, core volunteers will facilitate and lead limited Small Group Gardening Work sessions focused on specific tasks. Your participation in one or more of these work sessions will help us maintain the valuable community resource that the RPCG has become.

View all session/sign up here. If you are unable to make a scheduled session, please contact us as we may be able to accommodate when works best for you.

In keeping with the Vancouver Parks Board response to the COVID-19 outbreak, effective March 30, 2020, Community Gardens are to follow these guidelines, which are subject to change.

• All work parties & events are cancelled until further notice.

You may continue to garden if it is safe to work independently and you can ensure the activities can be completed:

• without hosting a public event;

• maintaining physical distancing of at least 2 metres (6 feet) between individuals;

  • Our maximum number of gardeners is 4 people. 

  • The garden is closed to the public when our gardeners are at work.
