Plant a dream and watch miracles grow

Garden Plaques And Donors

The Guelph Enabling Garden began as a dream in 1999 when local citizens envisioned a multi-use public garden designed for people of all abilities. These plaques are a tribute to the many donors whose generous gifts made it possible to build this unique garden.
