The City of Ottawa is inviting community groups to submit project proposals under the Community-led Greening Initiatives and Gardening Program. This program allows communities to create or expand gardens and greening projects on City land. Developed to support Ottawa’s environmental, equity and climate goals, the program promotes sustainable public spaces, biodiversity, community well-being and recreation. Projects may include community-led food gardens, pollinator and native plant gardens, rain gardens, ornamental gardens and gardening that reduces the need for irrigation. Other greening initiatives, such as projects that help manage invasive species, may be eligible when connected to a garden or greening project. Applications will be accepted from January 5 to February 3. Details: ottawa.ca
