For residential complexes such as condos, apartments, townhouses, retirement residences, and more, Young Urban Farmers can bring the joy of gardening to your grounds and residences. Gardening, especially edible gardening can help people stay active and engaged, live a healthy lifestyle by incorporated more plants into their diet, as well as fostering a sense of community, sharing and trust. Here are some of the ways we can help you with your gardening project.

Many condo and apartment dwellers we’ve talked to indicated their desire for a sunny gardening space to grow more edibles since many don’t have enough sun or enough space to grow all they want. While city allotments are available, sometimes there is a wait list or the location isn’t the most convenient.

Allotment-style gardens for your own residents can encourage better engagement, a stronger sense of community, increase health and well being of the residents, and act as an added selling feature for prospective residents. Allotments can vary in size based on land and space available. Allotments can be directly in-ground or in containers on a large patio or rooftop space.

In some situations, small steps are necessary to generate awareness, assess resident feedback, and to budget for increased edible gardening programming. One of the ways in which we can slowly integrate edible plants is by mixing herbs and edible flowers with existing gardening beds.

This can also include setting up containers with fresh herbs and veggies in common areas, setting up a small dedicated vegetable garden, and working with a gardening team to build awareness and excitement around the project..

Growing edibles help people connect with nature as well as foster discussion and a sense of community.

YUF can help maintain your existing landscape, including planting of annual bedding flowers. This can also include watering, weeding, pruning, thinning, planting, and more. Please see our garden services page to learn more about the maintenance services we offer.

Add colour and energy to the complex in key locations like courtyards, atriums, lobbies and walkways with aesthetically-pleasing planter displays. We can create unique displays including a variety of edible and/or ornamental plants and create new installations for each of the 4 seasons.

Workshops offer another way to engage residents. We’ve completed workshops on a variety of topics including Balcony Gardening, Seed Starting, Lacto Fertmentation and more.

We love sharing our passion for gardening and edible plants. Please contact us for more information or request a consultation using the links below.
