Welcome to Cypress Community Garden, an Award-winning grassroots initiative located along the Arbutus Corridor in the heart of Kitsilano, Vancouver. Garden members, along with tending organic vegetable and flower plots, initiate garbage clean-up, grass cutting and beautification of the neighbourhood through the creation of a walkable green space and surrounding public gardens. All work is done by volunteers.

Not surprisingly, we’re a popular neighbourhood green space and a favourite for tourists as well as local urban explorers. We're even slightly famous, having been awarded the Most Beautiful Community Garden in Vancouver Award in 1999, a joint award presented through the auspices of the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Parks Board. We also (not to boast) helped Vancouver win the National Communities in Bloom contest, with Vancouver winning over other urban contenders across Canada.

Be sure to check out the other pages on our site. You can find out about our philosophy and operation, get answers to frequently asked questions, check for garden news and upcoming events and tour the garden in seasonal photographs. You’ll also find useful links to a wider world of organic and community gardening. Enjoy your visit – but come see us in the garden soon!
