After reviewing how and where customer service support is provided, the City determined that the cemetery is not an appropriate location for this service. Moving customer service support to more suitable settings helps ensure a respectful environment and a consistent experience for everyone. While this change may take some adjustment, gardeners will continue to have access to customer service support by email or phone, as well as during three scheduled in-person registration days at the Don Moore Recreation Centre. 

The program continues to grow and enforcing clear registration and payment deadlines helps ensure the process remains fair, consistent and efficient for all garden plot customers. These updates allow the City to manage the program responsibly, and ensure plots are actively used each season. 

If application and payment are not received by the deadline, the plot will be forfeited and available for selection by another gardener. Extensions and holds will not be granted.

Yes. To ensure equal access to all gardeners participating in the plot program, we are requiring returning gardeners to follow the same steps as new participants. Strict deadline enforcement ensures we provide equal access to all.

Payment for your garden plot can be accepted at the Don Moore Recreation Centre (4501 47a Ave) at any time, however your Garden Plot Application must be received and processed by the Garden Plot Program customer service team. This means you must submit your completed application to gardenprogram@reddeer.ca and receive confirmation from our team that your application has been received before visiting The Don Moore Recreation Centre to make payment in person. Please note that the only location for in person payment is the Don Moore Recreation Centre. No other facilities are able to take payment for your garden plot.

We encourage program participants to phone our Garden Program customer service line at 587-273-5551 if you need assistance with the application.

Gardeners who participated in last year's Garden Program, and want to garden the same plot as the year before have approximately 3 weeks to submit their application and payment. 

To see the plot renewal dates, please visit the Returning Garden Plot Program Registration.

Gardeners who participated in last year's Garden Program, but wish to change either their plot size or location are encouraged to first renew their existing plot (to ensure they get a plot for the season). Once the renewal timeframe ends, gardeners are provided the opportunity to select from available lots to switch to. Depending on the plot size, you may be required to make additional payment or receive a refund for the difference. 

To see the renewal and plot switching dates, please visit the Returning Garden Plot Program Registration.

No. Plot locations and sizes remain unchanged in 2026.

New customers can obtain a garden plot by registering in person on Registration Day. Any remaining plots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend having a few preferred locations and plot options in mind, as availability may vary.
