Our Projects

Discover the nature, creativity, and local love that grow in every corner of our garden — from buzzing bees to vibrant murals.

🐝 Bees

Meet the buzzing heart of our garden — our resident bee colony! Learn from our beekeeper Garry about the essential role bees play in pollinating plants, supporting biodiversity, and boosting our harvests. See how urban beekeeping connects us to nature right here in the city.

🦋 Butterflies

Our butterfly habitat is a safe haven for native species like the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Painted Lady, and Monarch. Explore how we support these fragile pollinators through host plants, a custom enclosure, and seasonal observation — and experience the wonder of metamorphosis in real time.

🎨 Murals

The garden walls tell stories. Our murals celebrate local culture, environmental justice, and the vibrant history of the neighborhood. Dive into the meaning behind the art, meet the artists, and see how creativity helps transform public green space into a canvas for community pride.
