Grow Regina

 

The richness of a successful society depends on ordinary people who have ideas how to improve their community. Grow Regina Community Garden is one such idea: to create a community garden where horticulture and art are rooted in the soil.

Grow Regina's long-term vision is to develop the garden into a public meeting place. The newly-installed Cicansky Gazebo will provide a meeting place for gardeners, plus a unique cultural space for school classrooms, culinary demonstrations, workshops, performances and other cultural collaborations.
