[Garden] Opportunity to Create a Model Community Garden!

[Tom Kelly]

Hey I would love to come out for this, although I am a little unsure what exactly what it is. What I get out of it is that the kids in planning will look at the design of out current community garden and re-design it to make it more user friendly.

Anyways I would just like to hear what a group of planners have to say about community gardens.

It might be an interesting to have the planning experience, sure.

Nope I haven’t submitted the UW
Garden.   The idea is the students would provide the design we would
just have be able to commit at least 3 gardeners to attend on the day of
(October 3rd).  What do people think, wanna participate?

Have you submitted our Community Garden to the list already?  Or, is
it that we have to actually create some sort of design and submit that?

Opportunity to Design Your Dream Garden!


 

Community Garden Council Teams up with UW School of Planning


 




 

 

Would
you like the chance to have your garden redesigned and made more accessible to
your community?

 


On
Saturday October 3rd, 2009,
the University Of Waterloo School Of Planning will team up with Waterloo Region
Public Health, the Community Garden Council of Waterloo Region and
Opportunities Waterloo Region to hold a day-long design charrette (a collaborative
session where a group of designers create a model featuring design solutions
based on the needs of the participants) for some of our existing
community gardens and potential new community gardens.

 


Undergraduate
students from the School
 of Planning will be presented
with some of the challenges that face community gardens everyday. The students
will then plan a new design for the garden which allows it to be fully
accessible to people with diverse cultural backgrounds, as well as levels of
physical ability. Ideally we would like to redesign a garden from each city (Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge) as well as one
from a township in the region.

 


This
is an opportunity for your garden to get the makeover of your dreams!
Unfortunately, due to time and budget constraints, there is only space
available for four gardens to be evaluated and designed during the charrette,
so if you are interested in submitting your garden’s name for
consideration, please do so as soon as possible.  

 


Submissions
can be made to Candace Wormsbecker at candace at owr.ca
or by phone at 519-883-2353 ext. 5984 before August 10th.
