Have you always wanted to grow your own vegetables? Perhaps you live in a condominium or your gardening space at home is taken up with flowering and foliage plants. Renting a garden plot at the Maples not only will give you an opportunity to grow your own vegetables in an environmentally friendly garden but also surround yourself with others who enjoy similar pursuits!
The Maples presently offers over fifty community garden plots (plus raised beds for access to people with physical challenges) that have been developed and are offered for seasonal lease. We also have a 30’ x 70’ greenhouse that supports other community horticultural projects with table rentals available for those who wish to start seedlings and overwinter sensitive plants. The cost of a garden plot depends on its size but is based on $0.40 per square foot. Plots range in price from $40.00 - $120.00 per year. Cost for a greenhouse table is $40.00 per year. A refundable $20 tool shed key deposit is required.

The Maples Discovery Gardens Co-op is a non-profit community services cooperative located on six acres of botanical and native gardens with community walking paths, events square, garden plots and greenhouse. It is the first entity of local community development; an important component of the future Jericho Comprehensive Master Planned Community in the Township of Langley. It is situated just south of the Trans Canada Highway No. 1 in the Jericho-Willoughby area right across from the 60 acre Willoughby Community Park and the Langley Events Centre.
The purpose of the Maples Discovery Gardens Co-op, which is a social enterprise, is to encourage community groups and the community at large to participate in programs that advance and sustain health improvement, disease prevention and environmentally friendly activities while striving to create “a healthy community by nature”. It is the intention of the Co-op to ensure every member can actively participate to their full potential. The Maples Discovery Gardens Co-op will support the empowerment of seniors, youth and the community at large with the opportunity to live active healthy lives through gardening in an accessible environment.
