Gardens and Horticulture
Fostering a holistic lifestyle in a sustainable environment.
At Trinity Village Horticulture, we are committed to bringing more than thirty gardens to life and garden life to our residents, visitors, and staff through various programs and self-directed activities. Read on to see what there is to enjoy through Horticulture at Trinity Village.
Community Gardens
The Trinity Village Community Garden is a pleasant place to visit and spend time with family and friends safely. Not only is there space for every budding gardener to get their fingers in the soil, but there's also plenty of seating from which to enjoy the work of others through the passage of the seasons in the garden. Our goal in the Community Garden is to promote sustainable, organic horticulture. Here at Trinity Village, we are pleased to offer at a minimal fee, the opportunity to rent one of our 13 in-ground plots, 9 raised beds or 5 grow towers from May to the end of October each year. Applications for the current season open March 15th and close May 15th.
I love all the gardens and appreciate all the work, and the flower cart.
The Flower Cart
Every found yourself in the garden admiring a particular bloom, wishing you could take it home, but you didn't have the clippers or the vase to fulfill your wish?
Discover the Flower Cart, carefully placed between the Care Centre and the Studios for the summer season and you have everything you need to make your wish come true.
Feeding the Birds
Who doesn't enjoy watching our feathered friends fuss around a bird feeder? We also know that there are other four-legged creatures that search out the same seeds. These are the ones that breech our buildings, chew wires and wreak havoc throughout the gardens.
Feed birds, not rodents!
Wednesdays in Bloom
In season, Trinity Village gardens are bursting with flowers for us to enjoy both in the landscape and as beautiful floral art.
Did you know that Trinity Village Horticulture offers a flower bouquet subscription? From July to September, you can order a bouquet of blooms from our gardens and have them delivered to someone within our community.
Volunteers
Join the Garden Keepers at Trinity Village, a passionate group of volunteers dedicated to creating vibrant indoor and outdoor spaces. Through gardening, we connect with residents, nurture plants, and bring joy to our community. Together, let’s cultivate beauty, inspire engagement, and make a difference.
Golf Putting Green
Enjoy a round of golf at Trinity Village! Our putting green, tucked under the shade of the mulberry tree in the Community Garden, is a great place for residents to relax, have fun, and connect with nature and each other.
Coming Soon
Indoor Plant Library
At Trinity Village, our upcoming mobile indoor plant library will offer a peaceful opportunity for residents to connect with nature, promoting relaxation and a sense of community.
Stay tuned for more details about this exciting initiative!
Coming Soon
The Horticulture Manager welcomes conversation with you about the gardens, the birds, and our bees at Trinity Village. To get in touch, contact us.
The Bees
Trinity Village Horticulture supports and manages a small apiary on the property. As we work with the bees, we find opportunities to share what we have learned with our community through opening the hives, harvesting and extracting honey, and sharing the honey with our community through the Beeden Honey Sale in November. A small team of interested residents, staff, and visitors are on a journey to learn more about bees and bring that learning to the broader community through the bee kiosk and other bee-related programs.
If bees are your interest, keep it up by joining the Beeden Honey Team.

I enjoyed the tulip display this spring on the front berm.
Permeable Pathway Project
The Community Garden Permeable Pathway Project provided the opportunity to explore the concept of Low Impact Development and discover the benefits of permeable pavement both for the Trinity Village Community and the greater Region of Waterloo Community.
