Need an outdoor space for your event or party? Rent our Garden!

In October 2020, BKCM acquired the vacant,1,700-square-foot parcel of land next to our existing garden. We transformed the neglected patch of land into an inviting community garden and gathering space, equipped with lit and heated tents, tables, chairs and free WiFi.

We are excited to offer this space for rental to our community. The space is perfect for birthday parties, baby showers, special events, cultural programming, weddings and more. There is coverage for rain, heat in the winter and bathroom access close by.

Garden Amenities

  • TENTS: The garden has 2 12’x16′ tents covering around one half of the space. The walls can be brought up or down as wished and sound proofing has been added to both for more privacy.  
  • LIGHTING/HEAT: Both tents have overhead lighting and heat as needed. Wonderful for outdoor winter events.
  • MUSIC: Do you want a performer at your event? We also offer access to booking a musician for any type of event (wedding, child’s birthday party, etc.)
