Our Purpose

Located on Fort Ave., the Margaret Wright Memorial Garden is a 30 year old community garden that gives Fort Hill residents the chance to stay connected to the soil as well as each other. Built up on formerly-vacant land through the vision and drive of Margaret Wright, the Garden now has more than 20 gardeners and is a greenspace focal point for the community.
