The Greater Saint John Area Community Garden (G.S.J.C.G.) is a volunteer project working with the Recreation and Parks Department of the City of Saint John. It was established to provide an opportunity for citizens to have a place to garden. The Community Garden is located on the former site of the Rockwood Elementary School.

The Garden initially consists of over 100 small plots, on which citizens will be able to grow a variety of vegetables and flowers. The plots are open to residents of Saint John, and are distributed on a first come basis. Citizens who have plots are required to abide by rules of the Garden, and pay a nominal fee of $15.

The G.S.J.C.G. committee consists of citizens who are volunteering their services to help create community gardens. These gardens have been proven to be a great benefit in communities where they have been established.
