Mainland Regional will transform their existing garden into an enhanced, multifunctional space that promotes education, sustainability, and community engagement. The project includes upgrading the current flower beds with raised beds to improve accessibility and plant health, adding at least two benches to create a welcoming area for relaxation and outdoor learning, and installing a mini greenhouse to extend the growing season and diversify our planting options. They also plan to incorporate a bird bath to attract local wildlife and foster observation opportunities. Additionally, they will introduce native plants and a dedicated pollinator garden to support biodiversity and provide a vibrant, educational environment for all who visit
