The Anderson Bridge Parkette
Transformation
 On a stormy afternoon in April, OHS volunteers braved the rain and sleet to carefully remove the existing garden plants. |
 This was followed by the removal of the existing turf by OHS member David Hawley, who generously donated his time and equipment to clear the site. |
 The Petrie Group also generously donated a dump truck to carry off the sod for recycling. |
 The last of the weeds were removed by hand in late April. |
 Early in the morning of planting day, April 30, 2011, Sean James, a team from Fern Ridge and volunteers from the Oakville Horticultural Society began arriving |
 By mid morning, the garden was laid out and planting was well underway. |
 14 cubic yards of Gro Bark was spread through the garden and another 5 cubic yards of wood chips were used to make a path in the back of the garden. At the end of a long day, mst of the garden was in place. |
 In October 2011, the Town of Oakville installed a permeable pathway using Eco-Priora by Unilock, that allows water to quickly infiltrate the surface to reduce runoff and soil erosion. With the new pathway in place, the garden was ready for visitors. |
We hope you enjoy the garden.
