Started many years ago by the library’s custodian, this garden is maintained by Green Dreamers, who also take care of a number of street beds on Bank Street in Old Ottawa South.
In 2018, the GDs planted a number of native wildflowers including Pearly Everlasting (front of photo), New England Asters, Joe-Pye Weed, bergamot, and others, in the large garden bed between the sidewalk and parking lot next to Sunnyside branch of the Ottawa Public Library.
In 2024, GDs added Culver’s Root, Barren Strawberry, Grass-leaved Goldenrod, Canada Columbine, and other species around a serviceberry tree in a large square bed next to the library.
