Welcome

The Nepean Community Gardens were created in 1991 and they are the the third largest community gardening site in Ottawa. We have over 200 plots and almost 150 gardeners. The plots are available from May 15 - October 31. Interested gardeners are encouraged to contact NAGA to register as the waiting list is an average of more than two (2) years for annuals, and more than three (3) years for perennials. 

We have two types of plots available.  Full annual plots are 20 ft by 30 ft, and are rototilled each spring.  Perennial plots are 20 by 15 ft and are entirely maintained by the gardener renting them. Recently we have implemented Raised/Wood Boxes (4 by 12 ft) for gardenin

Leave The Leaves! These Invertebrates Depend On It.

Your garden’s wild residents benefit immensely when you practice good neighbor relations, leaving things a little messy and wild with a variety of leaves, hollow stems, brush piles or dead wood, soil, and flower heads available for winter shelter.

By simply doing fewer chores in the fall (and say, enjoying a steaming cup of spiced cider instead, courtesy of pollinators), your garden will reap the rewards of abundant pollination, natural pest control, and food for visiting birds and wildlife next spring.

WANT TO BE A GARDENER AT NAGA?

Our waiting list accommodates everyone. However, every new gardener should start gardening with an annual plot or raised bed. Perennial plots and locker waiting list is only for the existing gardeners.

Plots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. We currently have a lengthy waiting list (1-3 years). So if you refuse two offers, your name will be removed from the list to give someone else a chance. We look forward to gardening with you in the future!

Fill out the form below to get on our waiting list.
