Waskasoo Community Gardens
Plots available for 2025
About the Community Gardens
The Waskasoo Community Gardens are located in the Waskasoo Playground at 4409 58th Street. We have 10 garden plots, two perennial beds and a fruit and berry orchard.
While the ten garden plots are planted and harvested by private families, the orchard and perennial beds are open to the public to enjoy. In the orchard you will find apples, cherries, chokeberries, and haskaps and in the perennial beds you can help yourself to rhubarb, herbs, and cut flowers.
Looking for a garden bed? Check back here in early April to see whether we have any open plots. If there are plots available, see below to register.
Interested in volunteering with us? We are always looking for people to tend and water the public spaces. Email waskasoo.gardens@gmail.com if you're interested.
Community Gardens Registration
There is a $10 annual fee for each plot.
Those who have already been assigned a garden plot will be able to re-register for the next season in March and April before registration opens to the public.
If any garden plots are not claimed by returning gardeners, they will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 7:00 pm on the day registration opens.
To re-register or apply for a plot, please fill out and submit the Garden Plot Agreement below.
All important dates will mirror those used by The City of Red Deer which for 2025 are:
April 26: 7:00 pm Registration opens to new gardeners
May 16: Plots open for season
July 2: 'Weed It or Lose It' starts
October 14: Gardens close for the season
Perennial beds and orchard are open to the public to harvest.
NOTE: Rain water is gathered from the nearby gazebo roof, so there is usually water available. However, in dry years, you may need to bring your own water. As well, we had quite a bit of damage from deer and rabbits in 2024. You may want to plan on netting or otherwise protecting your plot.
