We aim to create a multifaceted garden tailored for aesthetics and for pollinators. Our anthropocentric and biocentric framework showcases a wide variety of plants – ranging from native prairie smokes to discreet creeping thyme – creating a colorful bloom of flowers, butterflies, and bees.

Land Acknowledgment
Land Acknowledgment
We respectfully acknowledge that the garden we have planted resides on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation. As we tend to this land and nurture new life within it, we recognize the deep-rooted relationship that the Syilx people have maintained with these lands for countless generations. Their stewardship, knowledge, and teachings about the land continue to shape and sustain this region. We honour the Indigenous ways of knowing, growing, and relating to the natural world. Let this garden not only be a place of growth and nourishment, but also a space for reflection, responsibility, and ongoing reconciliation. May we care for this land with gratitude, humility, and a commitment to learning from those who have long called it home.
Our garden bed
Our garden bed
While planning the layout of our garden, we decided to plant the taller and more drought-resistant plants towards the edges of the bed. This allows the irrigation to distribute water without issues while providing the eye with an aesthetic background. In the forefront and centre of the garden, we added more creepers while distributing medium-height flowers in hopes of creating a bed bursting with colours.
