On March 24 and 25 we invited everyone to talk about creating an extensive new garden in the Strathcona Park neighbourhood. The idea is to create a haven close to home for beauty, to promote nature, to provide respite, good mental health, and neighbourliness.
While the dream is evocative and desirable, these sorts of projects take many hands and many hours to develop. The starting point is to have our project understood and endorsed by the City of Calgary and decide on a suitable site. The hard ingredients contributing to a successful garden will include suitable soil, available water, and accessibility. We discussed locating within the utility corridor running along the south side of Bow Trail just west of Sarcee as a premium location. Other locations were discussed and will be examined for suitability.
The softer requirements include permissions, licensing, land use and zoning and this is where our group is now. If you would like to participate in development of the concept and location selection, please contact us at [email protected].
