A community garden in Calgary's south end has come alive this season as part of a city initiative to connect vacant land with urban growers. Project took years of developmentBrainstorming for the urban farm in Auburn Bay started with Hands On Growing and the city 2½ years ago, Hebb said. According to Peters, the space in Auburn Bay also met a lot of criteria needed to develop an urban garden. "It's flat, it's got great sun exposure, [and] it's in the middle of a community," Peters said. Carla Obuck, who is with the Auburn Bay Community Association, said neighbourhood families tend to the garden, and it gives residents a worthwhile project to look after.
