Located on East Calder Way next to House of Kashmir and the Pugh Street Garage, the garden includes lettuce, basil, peppers, oregano and more. It’s all free for the taking, though community members are asked to be respectful and leave some for others.

Started this summer, the project includes a special lighting attraction, public art, occasional family movies and other community activities along Calder Way between South Pugh and South Fraser streets a stretch that becomes a pedestrian-only mall from 6 to 11 p.m. every Thursday through Saturday.
