The Village Community Garden is a newly created community garden in a food insecure area in the City of Guelph. The garden was established by volunteers with the goal of operating the garden as a co-operative run by members. The idea is that co-op members would gain gardening and food literacy skills, an understanding of the food forest, as well as community leadership experience. 

The garden is built on top of an unused development field, so the garden members used a lasagna method with screened soil and compost. To prepare the beds for the following season, they planted organic buckwheat. Future plans include growing additional native plants to attract bees and other beneficial insects to pollinate the vegetable gardens.
