In 2020 the city of Calgary began piloting their Food in the Park program, including the use of four garden towers.
Mini Garden Tower
We are grateful to have met so many amazing people during our first show this year at Gardenscapes. Next year we will back back with a huge corner booth to show off our displays, feel free to come give the garden tower a spin! (April, 2016)
3 Garden Towers
We set up 3 garden towers at a new care home in Saskatoon. It opens in early December and the residents will play a part in growing fresh food! During the winter months they will be using lights around the towers to assist in the growing! (Nov, 2016)
48 Garden Towers
This fall we began setting up 48 gardentower units at the Regina Food Bank. Each unit is equipped with growing lights and the aquajet irrigation system so that they can grow efficiently indoors all year round. Hope hope to post finished installation photos in the very near future! (Coming Soon)
Earth Connections has provided towers to many senior centres and care homes for gardening purposes, as well as for horticultural therapy. Notable examples of these communities making use of the garden tower include Sage Resources and Sherbrook Community Centre in Saskatoon, SK and Trinity Village in Ontario.
Earth Connections Garden Centre has the pleasure of working constantly with new community partners across the country. Outlined below are some of our more recent partnerships with schools, food banks and community projects across Saskatchewan, Alberta and Yukon.
