Friends of the Goldenrod Community Garden Annual Membership 2025
Updated: February 22, 2025

Anyone can become a Friend of the Goldenrod Community Garden (GCG); you don’t have to have a plot or even live in Kitchissippi.

Annual membership as a Friend of the GCG requires two steps:
- contribute an amount of your choice (recommended donation $10) OR volunteer five or more hours; and,
- agree to the membership agreement and waiver linked below.
Your financial contribution supports the garden in building, maintenance and supporting other gardeners who face financial barriers.

To become a Board Member or volunteer, you must be either a Friend of the GCG or a Plot-holder. All Friends of the GCG have voting rights at the Annual General Meeting, will be included on member communications, and be invited to all events.

The Goldenrod Community Garden is located at the north-east end of Tunney’s Pasture near Parkdale Ave and Goldenrod Driveway by the Sir John A. MacDonald off-ramp. See map here. We have a second site at the Parkdale-Bullman Temporary Community Garden at 274 Parkdale Avenue map.

Please visit the website: http://goldenrodgarden.org for more information.

To become a Friend of the Goldenrod Community Garden please complete this form.

Please note: Plot-holders and Donors do not need to apply.
