This 19 square metre garden is an initiative of the Fisher Heights and Area Community Association (FHACA) in partnership with the Nepean Horticultural Society (NHS). FHACA was successful in obtaining a grant from the City of Ottawa to fund the creation of a garden. In deciding where to establish the garden, FHACA negotiated with City staff with the help of the local councillor to obtain permission for a site in Trillium Park. The rationale for choosing the Trillium site was that it is in an area with high visibility with considerable vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
In spring 2024, volunteers from the community removed sod, added compost-rich soil and mulch, and planted 20 varieties of native pollinator plants. The planting was based on a plan provided by a member of the NHS. The garden benefitted from an ideal spring and summer that saw sufficient precipitation for the garden to flourish in its first year. The mulch did its job and reduced the need for weeding. Nonetheless, volunteers still watered and weeded throughout the growing season as needed.
