The Bridgeland/Riverside Vacant Lot Garden, 46 7 St. N.E.
The Bridgeland / Riverside Vacant Lot Garden is significant as an excellent ex-
ample of a community garden and is the oldest of its type in Calgary. It is also
valuable as the only known remaining community garden that was once part of
the Vacant Lots Garden Club.
The Garden was established sometime between 1924 and 1930 on vacant land
that was purchased by The City of Calgary in 1922 under a City programme
known as the Vacant Lots Garden Club. The Vacant Lots Garden Club was an off-
shoot of a national movement of the same name that was inaugurated in Calgary
in 1911 and formally organized in 1914. The club allowed residents to garden on
empty civic property for a small fee with a twofold purpose: beautification and
food supply.
The garden club was an important resource, especially for working-class citizens,

efforts associated with the Second World War. It is also remembered for its role
as a ‘Victory Garden’ during the war with its products contributing to the war ef-
fort by reducing the public pressure on the food supply and allowing more food
to be shipped overseas. At the same time, such gardens indirectly aided the war
effort as morale boosters to those who tended them who were rewarded by the
knowledge that their gardens were contributing to the war effort.
The Bridgeland / Riverside Garden also recalls the role that such gardens served
in the early beautification efforts in Calgary that was fostered by city officials.
With the major economic downturn in Calgary in 1913 and the resulting halt in
construction, much land within city limits remained vacant. Establishing com-
munity gardens on these lots was seen as an effective way to maintain poten- One of the original Vacant Lot Gardens in Calgary. Pho-

Because of the garden’s association with the Vacant Lots Garden Club pro-
gramme (1914-52), it is also a tangible reminder of the efforts of Annie Gale and
early supporters of the programme.
Annie Gale was a socially progressive, recent immigrant from England who was
appalled by the quality and price of the produce available in Calgary and worked
tirelessly to improve the situation. Gale advocated for Calgarians to have the
opportunity to be more self-sufficient in the production of their food. She was
instrumental in establishing a municipal market in Calgary in 1914 which sold
locally grown produce and represented the Consumer’s League on the board of
the Vacant Lots Garden Club. Her work on these and other initiatives helped her
to become Calgary’s first female alderman in 1918.
Of the 3,229 vacant lots that once comprised the Vacant Lots Garden Club, the
three lots that form the Bridgeland / Riverside Vacant Lot Garden survive as the
sole remaining garden plots that formerly constituted the programme.
