Community Gardens program open for 2026 applications

By Brock Ormond Feb 2, 2026 | 1:55 PM

The City of Belleville is now accepting applications for the 2026 Community Gardens Program.

Established in 2012 by the City of Belleville’s Green Task Force, the Community Gardens Program provides successful applicants with a plot at one of three City-run gardens to make their own during the gardening season. Gardens are currently located at Ponton Park (251 Dundas St. West), West Hill (41 Octavia St.) and Bayview Heights (75 Bay Dr.).

Applications are open until March 5 and garden plots will be awarded through a lottery draw soon after.

Residents should know that previous community gardeners are required to re-apply each year.

Applicants must be City of Belleville residents, and the waiver form should be read in its entirety before completing an application.

For information and to apply online, visit Belleville.ca/CommunityGardens. Those unable to apply online can email gardens@belleville.ca to get a paper copy or call 613-967-3224 to apply over the phone.
