Taylor approves greenhouse for community gardening
The District of Taylor is moving forward with a second community gardening greenhouse through a federal agriculture and agri-food grant.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Taylor is moving forward with plans to install a second greenhouse for community gardening.
In an effort to increase the amount of community gardening and greenhouse space, the District of Taylor council has approved the purchase of the new structure.
During the July 21st council meeting, councillors approved the purchase from BC Greenhouse Builders at a cost of approximately $69,200.78.
The project is fully funded by a $100,000 Government of Canada Agriculture and Agri-Food grant, with $70,000 allocated for the greenhouse and $30,000 for site preparation such as foundation construction, landscaping, flooring and the purchase of tables and benches.
The new greenhouse will be 16 feet high, 9.5 feet wide and 27 feet long, approximately two thirds the size of the existing community greenhouse, and will be located near the Lone Wolf Golf Club on 99th Avenue.
The district stated there was no specific timeline for the project, however intentions are to have construction concluded by the end of the year and available to the public for the 2026 gardening season.
