Connect, educate, advocate
What We Do
Since YEGarden Suites' founding in 2017, we have helped thousands of Edmontonians learn about Garden Suites through educational workshops, tours, and events. We receive email inquiries on a daily basis from homeowners wondering if a Backyard Housing is right for them or if their property can accommodate a suite.
YEGarden Suites acts as a hub of information for all things Backyard Housing. Through collaboration with the City of Edmonton, Industry Members, Backyard House owners, and like-minded organizations, we deliver engaging and informative content that is sure to help you achieve your suite dreams.
YEGarden Suites Activities
Backyard Housing Workshops
YEGarden Suites host workshops on topics related to Backyard Housing. We cover everything from process to build, financing and energy efficiency. We also host builder/designer showcases where participants can see different design options and meet local industry experts. YEGarden Suites collaborates with experts in planning, permitting, real estate, financing, and alternative energies to provide our participants with the best available knowledge.
Workshops are held several times a year. Sign up for our mailing list to stay updated.
Backyard Housing Tours
We've heard from countless homeowners that seeing a Backyard Housing in person is what pushed them over the edge and solidified their plans to build. We strive to showcase a diversity of suites on our tours, which are held several times a year. Tours are self-guided, so you are free to explore at your own pace.
Homeowners and builders or designers are usually present to answer questions you may have.
Events
Backyard Housing are part of a larger conversation happening in cities across North America. How can we rebuild our cities to be more fiscally, environmentally, and socially sustainable? How can we accommodate growth while building complete communities where citizens can live active, healthy, and happy lifestyles?
At YEGarden Suites, we recognize that collaboration is key, which is why we are constantly seeking out exciting partnerships and opportunities to deliver co-hosted events. Over the past few years, we've worked with like-minded organizations to host Janes Walks, design workshops, public engagement sessions, and much more.
