Central Gardens
Go Wild in the City
Once known as Central Ave, this triangle-shaped green space is a sanctuary in the heart of our city. EcoSuperior's Central Natural Environment Gardens models organic gardening techniques that demonstrate pesticide-free approaches to horticulture and landscaping through the use of native plant species.
Each spring, the gardens come alive with wildlife! From butterflies and grasshoppers to red squirrels, songbirds, and even white-tailed deer; our green space is home for them all. Centred with a covered pavilion, our garden is a great place to meet with friends for a picnic, host a small gathering on a sunny day, or even practice your photography skills.

Volunteer at Central Gardens
Get involved! Volunteers have been at the heart of Central Natural Environment Gardens since they were first established in 1995. It's a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and be active outside. Volunteer days happen a half day a week in the Summer months. No experience necessary. Snacks provided!
Volunteer activities include:
- Transplanting and caring for wildflowers
- Planting, weeding, mulching pruning and general maintenance of gardens
- Building bird houses and other garden features
- Creating signs, collecting seeds and more!
Sign up starts in early June!
