The Belgravia Arts Park flower bed and shrub beds are maintained by volunteers from our community. We have the responsibility for maintenance under a Partners and Parks agreement with the city.
Volunteers gather about nine or ten times during the summer to work on the beds. No experience needed—just enthusiasm for our Alberta Native plants. No time commitment is required—volunteers are welcome on a one time basis or fairly regularly throughout the season.
We would love to welcome new volunteers. Come out and give it a try this Thursday, May 17 from 6:30 pm to 8 pm!
