Shape the Future of Your Neighbourhood
Curbside pairs homeowners who have boulevard access with gardeners in need of growing space. The first season will consist of 20 pairs.
Share your boulevard
If you have unused boulevard space in front of your property, you may permit one or more gardeners to grow food there*. Our program would place you in a "pod" with your neighbours and prospective gardeners who live nearby.
You get final say over any arrangements made between gardeners and yourself, but Curbside holds certain expectations regarding its program.
-
1. Gardeners are not strangers
You will meet all gardeners who may use your boulevard in person before any gardens are established.
-
2. You bring the water
Gardeners will access water from a spigot on your property. You are entitled to compensation for this, if you wish.
-
3. Written agreements
Boulevard use will proceed according to a written agreement between you, the gardener(s), and Curbside. You can preview a draft of this agreement here.
-
4. Your boulevard, your choice
You can terminate your agreement at any time and Curbside will return your boulevard to its original state, within reason.

Apply for a garden
If you would like to garden but don't have enough space, you may do so on a boulevard, provided that you receive permission from the adjacent property owner and follow some basic safety and tidiness guidelines*
Our program would match you with a homeowner willing to share their space and would place you in a "pod" with other gardeners and homeowners on the same block.
