2.8-acre site ready for topsoil to create new garden area adjacent to UNBC day care
Three years after the sign went up along University Way to announce the David Douglas Botanical Society’s garden expansion project on the UNBC campus, that effort is about to put down some roots.
Backed by grants from the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport and Northern Development Initiatives Trust and years of collecting money from private and corporate sources, and through proceeds on its annual plant sale, the society has $1.2 million in seed money to begin Phase 2 of the project and get planting.
“Our project committee meets every week with the project architects, the contractors and the university and they’re an amazing group of people wit the expertise they have. It’s been a lot of work and we’re going now, it’s happening. It’s just a beginning celebration for us to say, we’re here, our dream is coming true.””
Eventually, a new network of trails will wind through the entire site and will include viewing platforms that overlook a wetland area with feature walkways that pass through overhead arbors and trellises loaded with plant life.
