The borough has eight community gardens. We have more than 1,000 plots that are available to residents, including full plots that measure three metres by three metres (10 feet by 20 feet), raised bins and half plots.

To get a plot, you must sign up for the waiting list. Unfortunately, the waiting time is currently greater than one year.

• At the beginning of the year, available plots are assigned to people who are on the waiting list by chronological order.
• One plot is assigned per address.
• Priority is given to borough residents.

Anjou has seven community gardens with a total of 550 small low-cost garden plots. Several of these community gardens include raised beds.

• The registration period for new gardeners runs until March 10, 2024. Please complete the registration form available below. The form is also available at the Centre communautaire d’Anjou, in the entrance lobby at the Bibliothèque Jean-Corbeil, Bibliothèque du Haut-Anjou or at the Accès Montréal Office, during opening hours.
• Gardeners must hold a valid “carte de citoyen” (in French) (resident card) to reserve a garden plot. 
• Given the limited availability of plots in some gardens, the available plots may be assigned randomly. If a garden plot is not assigned to you, your name will be placed on a waiting list and you will be notified thereof.
• Residents who register after March 10 will be assigned a garden plot based on availability, or if required, they will be placed on a waiting list.
• Payment terms will be specified at the time of registration.

Garden plots are assigned based on the order of registration on the waiting list. Registering does not guarantee that you will have access to a garden plot during the year in progress or even in the following year.

Priority will be given to residents of the borough.
