Municipal officials are looking for public feedback to determine the location of Chatham-Kent’s next community garden.
The Chatham‑Kent Food Policy Council, in partnership with CK Public Health, is inviting local residents to help choose one of four locations for a community garden.
The potential locations for the garden include Kirkham Park in Tilbury, Forsyth Park in Blenheim, Ferguson Park in Thamesville, and Victoria Park in Bothwell. The location will be chosen based on community interest and the presence of a volunteer garden site leader to help oversee the site.
“Your input through this survey will directly shape the future of this project and ensure the garden is placed where it can be best supported and be most beneficial,” said Councillor Carmen McGregor, CK Food Policy Council Chair, in a news release. “This is a chance for community voices to guide community action, and we encourage everyone interested to take a few minutes to share their thoughts.”
The initiative is part of the municipality’s Community Gardens Program, which CK Council voted to expand on December 15, 2025.
