Cooperative Boulevard Gardening
Curbside is piloting a land sharing program to reduce garden waitlists, connect neighbours, and bring our food system back where we can see it — on our streets and in our hands.

The third space waiting to happen
The City of Victoria has more than 300 km of boulevard space (grassy area between sidewalk and street), over 30x the footprint* of all its existing community allotment gardens.
Cultivating this space is encouraged by the City**, but not all would-be gardeners have access to boulevards of their own.
About Sharing Your Boulevard* Based on public data from the city.
** Provided safety and tidiness guidelines are followed.
Just relationships, all the way down
Curbside brings homeowners and gardeners together into "pods" — gardening micro-communities within single neighbourhood blocks. With workshops and events from planting to harvest, Curbside fosters the social fabric that makes gardening worthwhile.

Democratic from day one
This is a project you own. Before we launch, early applicants will be brought together to help shape plans so that they work for all of us, both gardeners and homeowners.
As a cooperative, Curbside's members will always have a say — one member, one vote.
