Friends of Trinity Bellwoods Greenhouse
The Trinity Bellwoods greenhouse is open to the public daily from 4-5 PM. We are an all volunteer organization that seeks to educate the neighborhood about how to care for plants from seedlings through maturity. We are currently growing native plants and annuals for Trinity Bellwoods Park as well as vegetables and herbs for neighborhood volunteers. If you would like to learn more, please attend one of our monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month from 7:30-8:30 PM at the Trinity Recreation Centre. If you would like to volunteer, please e-mail greenspace@trinitybellwoods.ca
Trinity Bellwoods Park gets new greenhouse
Joe Pantalone, Deputy Mayor
As you know, I’m always pleased to work with community organizations, residents, and others to beautify and improve our city. In the last handful of years, we have created the Princes’ Gates Piazza (a joint Milan-Toronto initiative which made that section of Strachan Avenue pedestrian and bicycle friendly as well as enhanced this beautiful Toronto monument), Piazza Johnny Lombardi at College Street & Grace Street and the restoration of the Trinity Bellwoods Gates (at Queen & Strachan).
The latest improvement is the solar-powered greenhouse in Trinity Bellwoods Park (see pictures attached). This wonderful addition is thanks to the television production “Green Force” and the Friends of Trinity Bellwoods working closely with my office and city staff. If you’re interested in learning about how it came to pass, you may want to tune into HGTV Canada (Channel 46 in Toronto) on Tuesdays at 10 pm starting March 18. This environmentally sustainable greenhouse will add much to the experience of children, seniors, and adults in our community on a year-round basis. It has been built literally in the last two-and-a-half months at no cost to the City of Toronto thanks to “Green Force”.
We have great parks and a great city. This is one example of why this is so. I hope you agree with me.
