projects that restore,
revive and rejuvenate
our neighbourhoods. We bring together landscape
architects, planners, architects, and engineers to
provide design and planning services for non-profit
community-based projects. This collaborative approach
equips community energy with professional expertise
through an engaging and enjoyable process to create a
shared vision. As a non-profit entity there is no charge for the
services volunteers offer, however we are working on a
cost recovery basis with regard to materials provided
for workshops and charrettes by Community Studio. St. Michael's Centre Friends of the Living Garden Society St Michael's has a need for volunteer gardeners to spend a short time each month helping to maintain the Therapeutic Gardens. Details & contact info. |
