Friends of the Summerland Gardens, are introducing new conservation program activities to show residential landscapers how changing their approach to water use can supply high quality landscaping while reducing demand for freshwater.
The Intergenerational Landed Learning project will expand the curriculum-based vegetable growing program. This program teams students with elder mentors to grow, maintain and harvest food.
This year the project has received $39,000 from EcoAction Community Fund, $18,000 from the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s Water Quality Improvement Grant, $10,000 from Telus, $4,200 from the TD Friends of Environment Foundation, $3,000 from the municipality’s Climate Action Initiative and $1,000 from FortisBC.
