Registration for the second phase of GP Grows opens May 6, with Phase 2 featuring an Outdoor Gardening Starter Pack.

Starter kits include a variety of seeds to begin an outdoor vegetable garden.

To participate and receive a supply kit, residents can register online at cityofgrandeprairie.perfectmind.com starting at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 6. Residents who have not previously used the online registration system for purchasing recreational memberships or programming will have to create a new account before registering for this program.

Registration is free and open for the City of Grande Prairie residents, with a limit of one supply kit per household. Full instructions and FAQs for how to start the gardens will be emailed out to registrants.

Upon registration, participants can choose a drive-thru pick up time slot. Any participants with accessibility needs can contact the Citizen Contact Centre at 780-538-0300 to arrange for curbside delivery. Each option will follow strict physical distancing guidelines to ensure the safety of residents and City staff.

Everyone participating in GP Grows is encouraged to share photos of their gardens on social media using the hashtag #GPGrows.

The City of Grande Prairie thanks everyone for their interest in the program and looks forward to the launch of this phase to continue to provide residents with an opportunity to experience the benefits of gardening and a free and fun activity everyone can enjoy.
