Lower Lonsdale Community Gardens (the Gardens) is a public amenity situated on municipal lands. The Gardens is supported by the City of North Vancouver and North Shore Neighbourhood House (NSNH). Lower Lonsdale Community Gardens (LLCG), a not-for-profit society, operates the Gardens under the overall management authority of NSNH. It is our collective mission, as members of LLCG, to create and maintain a beautiful and peaceful public garden for all to enjoy, both gardeners and the public. In support of our collective mission, members must use good organic gardening practices to plan, create and maintain bountiful and beautiful individual gardens. The long-term success of the Gardens as a public park and as an enjoyable place to garden depends on the dedicated and cooperative involvement of all members.

Code of Conduct
Community garden plots are a scarce resource with a long waiting list. For those fortunate enough to have a plot, with that privilege comes responsibility.
Treat visitors and fellow gardeners politely and respectfully. Help make our community garden a welcoming space for all.
Keep your plot tidy and weeded including the adjacent pathways. Be productive with your plot using organic, environmentally friendly methods.
Participate in maintaining the community garden as a whole over and above looking after your own plot.
