Chilliwack Students' Garden Program ...in your own backyard!

Welcome to CSGP 2025

​

The Chilliwack Students' Garden Program is a unique approach to involving kids in agriculture. Founded in 1904, we’ve been in operation continuously for more than 120 years! This heritage program is volunteer-run and operates with support from community donations.

​

Our program is a fun and exciting adventure that supports kids through the steps of planting, maintaining and harvesting a garden right on their own balcony or in their backyard. It's open to all Chilliwack school students (public, independent and home-school) from grades K through 12.

​

Designed to encourage students to take up gardening, more than 200 student gardeners enter each year. (Registration is limited to 240 students.)

 

We require a small registration fee to help cover the cost of seeds, printing, and prizes.
2025 fees:
Container gardens: $5
Junior garden plot: $7
Intermediate garden plot: $10
Senior garden plot: $12

 

We really appreciate the financial support by local businesses!

 

​When our gardening judges stop by your home, they will be happy to answer questions and provide pointers. These garden lovers thrive on guiding learners through the process of soil preparation, planting, and tending to containers or plots.
