    Pop-Up events for Community Gardens and Mobile Park Program

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [16 July 2024] – This summer, the Town of Collingwood is excited to be collaborating again with the Environment Network to increase access to fresh vegetables through our community garden initiative. 

    Join us, every Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. from July 23 – August 27, 2024, at the Heritage Park Community Garden, located next to the dog park on 2nd Street to harvest fresh vegetables and play. This is open to all ages and free to participate. The Mobile Park Program will also be onsite for free play starting July 23rd.

    These gatherings are not just about fresh veggies; they’re about community. Attendees can enjoy locally grown produce, meet neighbours, and explore the vibrant garden. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with others.

    “We’re thrilled to partner with the Environment Network to offer these Pop-Up Harvests,” said Amanda Norris, Coordinator, PRC Projects & Community Engagement. “It’s a wonderful way to support local agriculture, promote community engagement, and foster a sense of togetherness.”

    In addition to the garden harvests on Tuesdays, the Mobile Park Program will be returning to our neighbourhood parks on Thursdays, providing free play activities for children. The Mobile Park Program will rotate locations visiting different neighborhood parks throughout the summer, bringing fun and educational activities closer to families throughout the area.

    Mobile Park Play: Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
