In 2012, ten Cornell residents joined together to form the Cornell Community Garden Committee. Their goal was to establish a productive and fun garden for all interested members of Cornell: individuals, families, students, seniors and special populations. With the support of the City of Markham, Markham Public Library, local business and many volunteers, the garden opened for a pilot year in 2014.
- Provide garden members with fresh produce that is local, organic and chemical free
- Provide opportunities to learn about gardening
- Build diverse community and learn from one another
- Create a space for the community to enjoy.
We welcome individuals, families, students and other groups from the Cornell neighbourhood to get involved.

Membership is now open for the 2023 Season. Membership priority is given first to returning members, then to individuals willing to join the garden committee, and then to other individuals on the waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis.
