The Prince George Public Library Knowledge Garden is in its end-of-summer glory right now.
Tucked away adjacent to the library visitors are invited to meander along the path filled with tall sunflowers bent over as if to greet guests. Proud stalks of corn reach for the last bits of summer sun and pumpkin plants run amok along the path to find that perfect spot to rest.
The garden features benches placed along the path, a picnic table tucked underneath towering blue spruce along with a small amphitheatre where those tall sunflowers live and outdoor programs are conducted like story times, where musicians can perform and public speakers can have their say.
Efforts have been made to create a green space using regionally domestic plants, trees and flowers, including species that have been indicated for traditional use by local First Nations, the library’s website informs.
And important to some, the garden space even has WiFi access.
The Knowledge Garden is entirely supported by donations and the generous support from public and corporate donors has made it possible to create the beautiful space.
The garden is open seasonally, as weather permits, from May to October from 10:15 a.m. Monday through Saturday and closes about half an hour before the library closes.
