Green Dreamers

The Green Dreamers got an early start on the red & white Canada Day theme with some shared garden work at the Firehall followed by strawberries & gelato afterwards — doing the best kind of gardening, volunteering together!

A big thank you to volunteers Christine & Mike Bradley for your generosity and hard work in organizing a plant drive for the Green Dreamers at the Sunnyside library.

As the tulips fade, can the sunflowers be far behind?

Yes, it’s that time of year when the Green Dreamers share our latest news and invite you to our first ever plant drive to be held on Saturday, June 8, 2019 between noon and 3:00 p.m!

The Green Dreamers are very pleased to have recently received a donation from the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association. This money will be put to good use at the Sunnyside Branch library garden. It is the largest site of the approximately twelve public and private sites along Bank Street that our volunteers tend to every spring, summer, and fall. This also includes the Firehall site and the rain gardens on Sunnyside Avenue. Without the hard work of these green thumbs you would still be driving past untended and weedy garden plots between the two bridges. Luckily for our community, four years ago David Chernushenko hatched the idea for a volunteer gardening group and the Ottawa South Community Association took it under its wing.
