The Giving Garden Story
The Giving Garden was established in March of 2017 by its founder, Dawna, as a personal experiment in gardening. A 60×20′ plot was gifted to her to use by her father in law, in the beautiful foothills of Dewinton. After producing more than she could use, Dawna started giving away the extra produce, and the garden quickly turned into something that was helping others, and The Giving Garden was born.
Through the efforts of hardworking volunteers, the garden has grown and expanded into an organization with plans to register as a non profit. The garden is now 160 x 22′ and The Giving Garden has been able to provide over 3000 lbs (and counting!) of locally grown, chemical free, heirloom produce to individuals, families, and charitable organizations throughout Calgary and area.

Want To Get Involved?
Our volunteers are what allow us to keep giving. We are always looking for more hands to help us!
The Garden requires over 5000 man hours to plant, maintain, harvest and distribute the produce; although we love the work that we do, we would like to make it a bit easier. If you would like to get involved with the Giving Garden, contact us today!
