[Garden] Opportunity to Create a Model Community Garden!

[Candace Wormsbecker]

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.
