Ottawa Downtown Association Announces Adopt a Bed Program

The Ottawa Downtown Association, in collaboration with the City of Ottawa, is thrilled to announce the launch of the “Adopt a Bed” Garden Bed Program. This exciting initiative invites residents, businesses, and community groups to beautify downtown Ottawa by adopting and maintaining garden beds in the downtown area.

The Adopt a Bed Program, inspired by the successful Adopt a Highway initiative, aims to enhance the downtown landscape through community engagement and environmental stewardship. Participants can select a garden bed in the downtown area, plant flowers and greenery, and take responsibility for its upkeep throughout the year.

“We are pleased to present this program in cooperation with the City of Ottawa,” said Cassi Skolflanc, President of the Ottawa Downtown Association. “The Adopt a Bed Program is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to contribute to making our downtown more vibrant and welcoming. It’s a chance for individuals and groups to showcase their creativity and community spirit.”

Program Highlights:

  • Choose Your Bed: Participants can browse a map of available garden beds and select one to adopt.
  • Personalize and Maintain: Once adopted, participants will receive guidelines and tips for planting and maintaining their garden bed. They are encouraged to design it to reflect their personal or organizational style.
  • Recognition: Each adopted garden bed will feature a sign recognizing the contributor, providing public visibility and appreciation.
  • Ongoing Care: Participants commit to the regular maintenance of their garden bed, ensuring it remains a beautiful part of the downtown area.

Why Participate?

  • Beautify Our City: Help transform downtown Ottawa into a blooming, green oasis.
  • Community Pride: Demonstrate commitment to the community and inspire others.
  • Public Recognition: Gain visibility with a personalized sign in your garden bed.
  • Enjoyable Activity: Gardening is a fun and rewarding way to spend time outdoors.
