Friends of the Courtyard is now complete for residents use at the Boyne Lodge in Carman. Community Integrated Health Services Leader Mary Heard says its great to see the idea unfold into a finished garden.
Heard says they have several benches with wheelchair access, a variety of plants as well as statues donated in memory of people with a cemented floor for better wheelchair access.
She says the idea began about a year ago when a residents family wanted to renovate the grassy courtyard into a wheelchair friendly area.
She comments Bob and Jody Last put a lot of hard labour into it as well as Gwen Last who helped initiate the project in memory of her husband.
Heard adds finishing this project has inspired them to build other green spaces on their property.
