dedicated to supporting and initiating grassroots
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. |
