Ah, spring. The time of year when our city gets a little warmer, the days get a little longer, and the air is filled with the fresh scents of all things green.
This year, we are welcoming spring in our community in the brand new Rutland Park community garden!
One of the newest community gardens in Calgary, the Rutland Park garden was built in the fall of 2014, and is open for planting for the first time ever. We worked closely with the garden committee during the planning and building stages of the garden, as having an inclusive space was a high priority for all those involved. A variety of bed heights and large walkways make this site accessible to individuals with wheelchairs, walkers, and other assistive devices.
The DDRC’s Creative Coordinator, Crysta Trask, has organized a garden club for clients and Community Resource Workers who are interested in learning about planting in a hands-on way. Here’s to a marvellous growing season!
Stay tuned for updates and photos as our garden begins to grow.
