Cultivating Community and Nature
Demonstration Garden
The Demonstration Garden will be a vibrant living classroom designed to inspire and educate gardeners of all ages and skill levels. Nestled in the heart of our community, this garden will showcase sustainable gardening practices, and highlight plants that are native to the local environment, pollinator friendly, water wise and edible. As a community resource, the garden also adheres to FireSmart principles.
Our garden will
serve as a:
Vibrant living classroom: A space where individuals can learn and grow.
Accessible venue: Open to gardeners of all ages and abilities.
Environmental steward: Demonstrating sustainable & eco-friendly gardening practices.
Sanctuary for pollinators: Creating habitats for pollinators and beneficial insects.
Partnerships
LCGC is grateful to be working in collaboration with the District of Lake Country. The District has provided the SE corner of Swalwell park for the garden, and $15,000 in Community Engagement Grants to help initiate the project.
We are seeking community partners to contribute resources to help the club complete the project by 2027.
What you can do to help!
If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in partnering with us to build this meaningful community project, please reach out! This is an opportunity for individuals or businesses to make an impact on our beautiful community, and create an ever-growing legacy. We are seeking cash contributions and in-kind donations, such as soil, gravel, plants and hardscape materials.
We also welcome the help of fellow garden enthusiasts who would like to volunteer their time to nurture the garden, and hope you'll also consider becoming a member of the Lake Country Garden Club. We are always open to new members.
