Park Avenue Community Oven
in Leighton Dillman Park across from 36 Park Avenue B2Y 1A4 Dartmouth, NS, Canada

We had a good morning yesterday tending to the raspberries and putting in new trellises. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers, we couldn’t do what we do without you! We have uprooted some heathy raspberries for the taking. They are bagged near the tree between the orchard and the oven. When you plant them in your yard, they like sun for at least 8 hours a day. You will also want to trim them down to 12-18 inches above the original soil line (look for evidence of soil on cane to see where that was). Cut them before planting as close to a leaf as possible with sharp pruners. They won’t produce raspberries this year, but let them root and grow, and you’ll have raspberries for years to come! If you are interested in joining us for our next work party, email (Dartmouth garden email) to be added to our email list.

Tomorrow’s the day! Please join us for our AGM. New members welcome.

Share your thoughts on the future of parks in Halifax, like our beloved Dartmouth Common. Surveys related to the Centre Plan are open until August 31 - and you don't have to read the Centre Plan to have an opinion.

Covid-19 Update: The Park Oven is not open yet and we do not have immediate plans to reopen this season. But the situation is fluid. We are exploring options as things continue to evolve. The safety of our volunteers, student interns, and visitors is paramount to us. Our community garden and orchard have resumed operations. ... When/if circumstances allow us to reopen the Park Oven, we will let you know here. Stay safe
