We also grow-several-rows for the Calgary Food Bank including potatoes, pak choi, beans, squash and greens!

Free Little Library
The Acadia Community Garden believes that learning and information are paramount to fostering a healthy community. The Calgary Reads program is an initiative offered throughout the city which has installed miniature libraries boxes in public spaces, allowing citizens to exchange reading material on an anonymous basis. Easy to use, these libraries allow for the free exchange of ideas and books for everybody.
Our little free library was installed in 2014 and offers visitors to drop off or pick up books whenever they feel. As we build more seating for visitors to spend time at the garden, we hope this library will be an integral asset to enjoyment of our space. Please be mindful of keeping our library in safe condition, and make sure that it is closed properly to preserve the material that has been donated.
