"Dear Howie,
This is a wonderful in-kind donation for the fence workshop I am doing with youth-at-risk. Your donation of material will help preserve this spot which serves as a demonstration teaching garden (with all sorts of environmental lessons), and also provide a training opportunity for a group of youth-at-risk enrolled in a horticultural / landscaping training program.
The project is to build a willow fence around a native species wildflower bed in a park in Parkdale, Toronto.
The garden was created by Evergreen and volunteers as a place for people to connect with nature, in a neighbourhood where there are a lot of rooming houses and people don’t necessarily have a spot to enjoy gardening and learn about nature. Currently, there is a rather sad-looking dilapidated plastic fence around the garden – which was only meant to be temporary when it was installed seven years ago!
To build the fence, Evergreen has partnered with Tumivut, the Aboriginal youth shelter. Tumivut is developing the Earthkeepers Programme, a social enterprise model which will train and employ 14 youth in the gardening and landscaping sector.
Thank you once again for all your help with material and guidance re logistics: couldn’t have done it with out you! "
