Lovees, remember my pitch? My proposed green space project is an inspiring urban garden that's closer to the home. You can enjoy the natural environment, sow seeds and harvest fresh produce, farm various therapeutic plants, and uphold a healthy culture and sustainable lifestyle. The place also aims to showcase a flourishing woodcraft industry, a sumptuous cuisine that's distinctly native, and beyond its district inaugurate the town as the emerging greenery capital.
Cultural Impact
The proposed Garden will use a unique name and logo that is anchored on the town's pride and rich heritage.
The Garden enhances its reputation as pro-green, pro-environment, pro-nature, and pro-organic.
A cultural landscape educates people on the history and traditions of the place. Native plant species grow naturally in the area; marking them with nametags or signs allows engagement and connection.
The Garden allows learning and the presence of an Art Gallery, an Art Along the Pathway, and/or a Museum in the compound makes it a cultural destination.
Environmental Impact
A hands-on interaction of people with the environment means we, as humans, are appreciative and grateful for the care that nature provided us.
The Garden itself is a healing agent so sustained care for it and its surroundings act as source of long-term wellbeing for the community. It will provide access for all who would take part in growing fresh, organic food.
Social Impact
The Garden appeals to both residents and visitors. It embraces people from all walks of life through inclusion. All ages and persons with disability (PWDs) are users of the green space; they should feel welcome and secure.
For connectivity, the Garden serves as a venue for events like school field trip, wedding, outdoor meeting, performing arts, etc.
Financial Impact
Encourage people to visit, linger, eat or have a picnic, and take groupie shots in the area to foster desirability, friendship, and revenue generation for sustainability and maintenance. Fund raising will be an internal effort.
Renovations
The proposed locations for makeovers have been identified and the new would-be amenities offer exciting, unique, and rejuvenating ambiance for all ages.

Love for greenery is all about hands-on or experiential learning by gardening or through environmental stewardship.
Stay engaged!
