## Indigenous Garden

The project transformed a hot, dry mall asphalt parking lot into a cool, green gathering area for the clients and community members using the Indigenous Community and Family Centre the garden belonged to. Special consideration was given to the tree and shrub selection. Fast-growing Populus tremuloides was mixed with large canopy trees to ensure ecological longevity. Ostrya virginiana and Quercus macrocarpa were planted along the existing sidewalk to provide shade for passerby as they grow.
