Renowned landscape architects PWL Architects provided invaluable pro bono project management services, including garden renderings and construction planning.

The Garden Club of Vancouver supported the project with a $12,500 grant, as did Hockey Helps the Homeless as part of their dedicated commitment year over year to investing in life-enhancing services at The Bloom Group’s women’s shelters. Canadian Tire and donor Scott Bierwiler provided gardening tools, while plants and trees were generously donated by Golden Spruce Nurseries, Van Belle Nurseries, Sidhu Nursery, Southlands Nursery and Gardenworks in North Vancouver.

Donations in memory of Sioux McLennan went towards a beautiful trellis designed by Kim Cooper. Donations were also made in memory of Marjorie Morningstar and Suman Kashyap-Sahjpaul.

A team from The Vancouver Master Gardeners provided advisement throughout the project, sourced materials and rolled up their sleeves alongside Julia and Marybeth on planting day. A crew of additional volunteers aided in the design charette, as well as marketing and outreach of the project.

And of course, Julia and Marybeth, garden designers, volunteered their vision, project management and oversight to the project from start to finish.

Thanks to everyone who made our garden grow!
