NEW Galvanized Metal Garden Boxes Installed
As a first experiment with galvanized metal garden beds, the Colwood Garden Society approved the replacement of the three wooden accessible beds (which not even rebar reinforcements can hold together any longer). On Sat. October 24, 2026, volunteers removed the old (slightly rotted) wood frames of the 3 accessible garden boxers and replaced those with 3 foot by 10 foot by 26 inch high galvanized steel frames. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out on a drizzly Saturday.

Proposal for Second Community Garden Site in Colwood
With a 2 year or more waitlist, demand is high for garden spaces. The Colwood Garden Society Board and volunteers have been working hard with the City of Colwood to find a second community garden site. The City of Colwood is considering a proposal to allow the community garden site at the West Lagoon Park, close to the Colwood Arts and Culture Centre on Goldfinch. A letter went out to those living in that area. The City of Colwood has posted more information under their “Let’s Talk” section. Please look at “Exploring a Community Garden at the Lagoon West Park”
If you support this proposed community garden site, send an email to info@colwoodgardensociety.org . Please include your name and address.
Pop Can and Bottle Collection – We Need Your Help
Help us with our fundraising. We are looking for 2 or 3 volunteers who would be responsible for the sorting and deposit of the cans and bottles collected and dropped off at the garden. About twice a month. (Go to Fundraising for more information)
