The Blue Quill Community Garden is a community-driven project that supports food security and builds community cohesiveness  through the creation of a permanent community garden. We are converting an empty green space into a permanent community garden with raised garden beds, fruit trees and shrubs, and a garden shed with pergola for gatherings.

The Blue Quill Community League supports approximately 10,000 residents in four Edmonton neighbourhoods: Blue Quill, Blue Quill Estates, Skyrattler and Sweetgrass. In 2020 and 2021, we hosted two temporary pilot gardens that were very successful with over 100 participants each year. 

We will be beginning construction this summer and the Blue Quill Community League members are working hard to raise the remaining funds to complete all planned features of the garden. 

Thank-you to everyone who has donated their time and resources to this amazing community project!
