Last summer the Children’s Garden at Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto underwent a magnificent transformation with the help of The G&L Group. Truckloads of soil, sand, mulch and stone were provided by The G&L Group for use in a variety of gardening and construction projects, all built by children, their families and community groups during school, camp and public programs.

The beautiful stone-seating circle accommodates 40 campers, while the mulch provides a soft surface for play and is also a great material for making hills to roll upon. The sand pit provides opportunities for endless experimentation and creating small worlds. The Children’s Garden also received a large amount of nutrient-rich soil to help the veggies and fruit trees thrive and produce a bounty of food for the children’s cooking program.

The materials provided by The G&L Group will continue to provide a key ingredient in the “you-build-it” experience for all who participate in helping this magical space grow and change for years to come.

More info about the contribution and Evergreen is on G&L’s website at www.gandlgroup.com/community/index.html.

Colomba Lamanna says, “We’re really proud of these contributions and think it’s great that Landscape Ontario is documenting and helping to share it within the community.”
