Garden Rental Plots

Note: Unfortunately, due to high demand there are no plots available for the 2023 gardening season.

Location, size and cost:

• CGC has an agreement with City of Winnipeg to maintain a large piece of land that is available for our members to rent. Plots are located east side of Perimeter Highway just north of Assiniboine River.
• Size of a full plot is approximately 18 feet by 38 feet (individual plots vary slightly in size).
• You must be a member of the Charleswood Garden Club ($10.00 per year) in order to rent a plot.
• The rental rate for a plot is $35.00 per plot and $18.00 for a half-plot. Included is annual tilling.

Details:

• Your plot perimeter may be enclosed with twine or short support fencing.
• You are responsible for keeping your pathway weed-free.
• You are not allowed to use glyphosate (Roundup), Malathion, BTK, rotenone, rodent poison, etc. Since chemical pesticides and herbicides use is prohibited by the Province of MB you must check with Richard (204-396-2325) for substances not listed. Failure to do so will result in your plot being reallocated the following year.
• You are expected to keep your garden pest-free (especially potato beetles) and to deadhead any weeds. You are expected to have a back-up person after 2 weeks if you are not able to maintain your plot due to illness or holiday. Let plot manager know asap if you are not able to do this.
• Garden waste free of plastic, cans and string should be taken to the composters.
• All gardens (except for the no-till area) must be cleared of sticks, strings, markers and refuse including corn stalks by fall tilling (date varies).
• Planting is at your own risk. We have our usual share of 4-legged and 2-legged pests.

I decided to grow it; now what do I do with it?

After a couple of years of traditional in ground gardening Anita Jacobson and her husband Tim went with raised beds so they would be able to continue to garden as they got older. Anita will talk about what they grow and how growing it fits their life. She looks forward to sharing some ideas of what to do with produce.
