Our new Community Garden is located at Moriarty Park, near Devonshire Rd, Harbour Grace. We currently have 34 boxes available for planters. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about handling cash, registration for gardeners is free. After advertising in early May, all of our 34 boxes are reserved; we will maintain a wait list in case any openings arise.
Parking is available on Crystal’s Way (formerly Crosbie Rd Ext.) and between the two fields.
We’re always looking for volunteers to help with programming! If you’re interested in volunteering, please email Matthew G. McCarthy, EDO, or Mary Ann Sheehan, Chairperson.

DUE TO THE CLOSURE OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, OUR SEED LIBRARY OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED.
—
The Harbour Grace Seed Library & Exchange program is a partnership between the War Memorial Public Library and our local community garden. You don’t have to be a community garden member to take advantage of this program – all you need is a Newfoundland & Labrador Public Library Card!
And the best part? It’s free!
Sign up at our local library, get a loan of some seeds, return what you don’t use, and donate seeds from your own collection! (And maybe check out a gardening resource or recent bestseller, too?) Once the library’s seed collection is exhausted for the season, it’s gone! However, you can save seeds you grow and return them to the library for next year’s crop.
We hope this outreach project will introduce our community to gardening, food sustainability and public literacy programs in new ways.
Happy gardening!
