The CVHS is notably cycling-friendly, operating a dedicated 'Garden Cycling Tours' program — a self-guided 11 km bike route through downtown Courtenay gardens in partnership with the Comox Valley Cycling Coalition. The garden represents the society's educational mission and serves as a reference point for the region's broader garden-tourism network.","source":"sonnet_4.6"},"website":{"value":"https://comoxvalleyhortsociety.ca/herb-garden/","source":"enrichment"},"address":{"value":null,"source":null},"phone":{"value":null,"source":null},"email":{"value":"info@comoxvalleyhortsociety.ca","source":"html"},"route_slugs":[],"centrally_administered":false,"bike_parking_detail":"1 rack within 100m: rack (2 spaces) at 69m.

No amenity information (bike parking, washrooms, potable water) is mentioned anywhere on the website for the herb garden itself; the open garden tour page does note 'restrooms will most likely not be available' for its tour locations, but that refers to private residences rather than this garden.
