Just a work bee reminder for everyone.

One time only - Saturday, May 13th from 9-3pm

Evenings for remainder of season - Starting May 17th, Wednesdays only - 6-8pm

Remember to bring gloves and wear appropriate footwear. There is a biffy on site but remember we do not have water yet so make sure you bring your own for drinking. Should be a beautiful day to get some of those hours behind you!

This is also the deadline for membership fees.

2016 DUGS AGM

The 2016 DUGS AGM will be held Thursday, January 19th at 506 Cook Street (upstairs). There will be a Potluck Social at 6pm followed by the AGM at 7pm. All are welcome!

It is that time of year for our annual event, 

The Whitehorse Community Garden Harvest Social

Come out and socialize with your fellow gardeners on Wednesday, August 24^th, 6-8 pm.

Snacks and light refreshments will be available in the main garden.

Gardeners are welcome to bring something to contribute to the event (but it is optional). Even better if you can create something from what you've grown!

Bring copies of your recipes for our future garden recipe collection. 

*There will be an award presentation for volunteer of the year* 

Always a fun time! Hope to see you there.

Bees at the Community Garden

Show your support for the Whitehorse Community Garden apiary proposal by sending an email to publicinput@Whitehorse.ca before April 25th. Approval of Bylaw 2016-16 will amend City of Whitehorse zoning to allow an apiary to be included in the community garden located downtown on

7th Avenue. Honey bees at the community garden will be sweet!

2016 Garden Sign Up

The sign up for the 2016 growing season will be Saturday, April 9th at the Whitehorse Public Library Meeting Room from noon until 2pm.

This is a first come first serve signup (I can't hold any plots for anyone).

Those gardeners from 2015 who fulfilled their volunteer time will get first choice of the plots. Anyone who did not complete their 12 hours of volunteer time will be expected to complete the remainder if they expect to get their plot back from last season. Otherwise, your name will just register in the general signup with the new gardeners.
Fees for new gardeners are $20 annual membership fee + $20 bed deposit + $5 shed key deposit for a total of $45.
Returning gardeners only pay the $20 annual membership (and the $5 shed key deposit if you need a new one)
We accept cash or cheque.

See you there!
