Town of Banff: “The Community Greenhouse will be a catalyst to get people growing and cultivating an interest in gardening.

“A greenhouse in Banff is not a new concept. Historical photographs from as far back as 1928 depict several active greenhouses in the Banff area. More recently, the 2006 Banff FCSS Community Social Assessment highlighted a growing community interest in gardening and greenhouse development.

“There are several reasons that a community greenhouse was felt to be a good initial development. A greenhouse allows for an extended growing season. It also avoids open wildlife attractants. A greenhouse can be constructed in such a way that it can be easily re-located if required.”
