Community Garden at Spruce Lane Organics

The Community Garden at Spruce Lane has been in operation since 1992 and has produced many tons of produce for those willing to grow their own food in our garden. About 30 varieties of vegetables are grown each year. Harvest can begin as early as mid June and continues to the end of September. Seeds, tools, instruction and encouragement are all provided.

The Community Garden is a non-profit project started by Edith Schaeffer and operates on her land. It is supported by various community groups and local agricultural societies affiliated with the Food Security Initiative in Lacombe, which supplies volunteer gardeners who grow their share for the Lacombe Community Suppers throughout the year. Last year, we partnered with Michener Services to start our tender seedlings in greenhouses. Garden and Greenhouse volunteers are always welcome.

We are most grateful for the financial support we receive from time to time. To learn how to support the Garden with a financial contribution, please call Edith at 403-885-4666.
