St. Ann's Garden Building Project.
In September 2009 St. Ann's Garden Club moved into their new building. Our desire was to create a structure that reflected the excellence of this program. Together, we created an accessible, open-concept building perched on the edge of our gardens, to allow a free flow between the indoor cooking, crafts area and the outdoor raised beds and woodworking areas.
We are so grateful to have had our community behind us in this endeavor. We are humbled by the generosity of individuals and corporations that see the immense value in supporting and extending this program.
Thank you:
