A new community garden has grown in Greater Vernon.

The snc蓹cma艂qtn Agricultural Park is located at 4122 East Vernon Rd., in Regional District North Okanagan Electoral Area C (BX).

Located on the traditional territory of the syilx, the snc蓹cma艂qtn Community Garden will offer plots for rent to community members annually for seasonal gardening. The garden operations and maintenance are administered through the NexusBC Community Resource Centre. 

The snc蓹cma艂qtn Agricultural Park was established in 2024 after the RDNO acquired the property to create a community resource for agriculture, passive recreation, and habitat conservation. This 132-acre space is home to the BX Ranch Trail, connecting users to the BX and Mutrie Dog Parks and various agricultural land uses.
