Support your greening project

Make your greening project a community affair by inviting members of the community to contribute their time and expertise.

Tips:

  • Ask for plants: one industrious kindergarten class sent handwritten letters to parents to ask for native seed or seedling donations for their greening project.
  • Get donations: go to your local garden nursery or lumberyard and ask for in-kind donations. Consider asking a hardware store to donate essential gardening tools.
  • Contact a local building developer and ask for scrap materials, or ask for trees from development lots to be relocated to the school ground.
  • Ask for time: partner with community centres, summer camps, or seniors’ residences to get help get your project in the ground and with summer maintenance.
