A grant of $1000.00 from Kootenay Savings Community Foundation has put
Grandview Neighbourhood Garden another step closer
to their goal to fence the garden to eliminate deer and elk damage.
On July 11, five of the garden members met in the garden with Sandro Rotach,
manager of the Castlegar Kootenay Savings Credit Union Downtown Branch, for the grant
presentation. After the
presentation and photos, Mr Rotach was given a tour of
the garden, and the gardeners explained their vision for the garden and
future plans. Because the garden is open to all
residents of Castlegar and surrounding communities, this grant is a benefit
to all. Truly an example of being "Better
Together", as the Kootenay Savings slogan says.
