Adopt a Planter
Barton Street in Hamilton, Ontario, has long been a hub of community activity, commerce, and culture. However, like many urban areas, it faces challenges related to environmental degradation, limited green spaces, and a disconnect between businesses and the natural world.
The new “Adopt a Planter Box” program created by Green Venture, in partnership with Barton BIA and Beautiful Alleys aims to add more green space and biodiversity along Barton Street by introducing native plants into planter boxes and encouraging business owners to “adopt” them with the help of staff and Green Venture volunteers.
