Volunteers have dug up the garden space behind the Fort Calgary museum and are now getting rid of all the weeds in the space after years of neglect.
"We have over 100 people that have signed up to volunteer in the garden, which is amazing," said Lindsie Bruns, Fort Calgary's director of programs.Bruns believes a decision was made in 2018 to mothball the site, with plans in the works to expand the museum, but that never happened and the fenced garden plot was reclaimed by nature."People going by on the RiverWalk loved looking at it. The volunteers loved working here, so they were really upset.
Henbrey focuses on bringing more Indigenous stories and voices to the museum for the visitor experience.She's excited and a little nervous about taking on such a large project but is looking forward to seeing the space transform throughout the summer months."So knowing the place I live, knowing especially the plants and all the other things around us, that's what's important to me. It makes me really feel connected to not only my community but my home and my friends.
"It's exciting because of the type of plants that will be put in and the fact that it's going to be charities that will benefit from it ... those are two big things for us," she said.He enjoys gardening and can't wait to see the results of his hard work. "So here, within a matter of days and weeks, you see your product coming up through and it's very rewarding."
