About
Common Roots – Bi-Hi Park
In 2019 Common Roots Urban Farm moved from Bell Rd and Robie St to make way for the QEII hospital expansion. In March, the city approved our new site at BiHi park at the bottom of Bayers Rd. Since then CRUF BiHi has become a frequently visited spot for many in the community – for lunch break, as a detour on their walk home, to pick up veggies for the week and of course for growing in their plots, volunteering in the market garden or learning from one another. Sign up for our newsletter below to receive updates and hear about opportunities to be involved.

Market Garden and Deep Roots
Our market garden grows fresh greens, vegetables, herbs and flowers using ecological farming practices. Items from our site, and our sister site at Woodside, can be purchased through our online store and picked up at either location Wednesdays between 3-6pm.

Our community garden has 36 plots. They are 4 feet by 12feet and cost $30 for the growing season (subsidies available on request). Water is available on site and garden tools are accessible at select times. Please contact crurbanfarm@gmail.com if you’re interested in a garden plot.
