Getting Involved at the Gardens
The Rotary Club of Bracebridge is the primary curator and manager of the Rotary Centennial Gardens. The support of the whole community is what makes it thrive.
From its inception, the project has and continues to receive generous support from the community. Many individuals, organizations and businesses have given donations, time and talent towards establishing and maintaining the site, the individual gardens and the many features within it.
Please enjoy the Gardens while following health restrictions and guidelines for Covid -19. Signs are posted in the Gardens indicating protective health requirements while enjoying the rejuvenating qualities of the garden surroundings.
Please Note: All RCG groups and events are paused until health guidelines indicate it is safe to resume these activities.
Here are a few ways to get involved:
Come for a visit
Meander through the pathways, gather ideas for your own garden, relax on one of the many benches, take a mindful moment or two in the meditation garden, participate in an event, take a selfie by the fountain, the possibilities for a little getaway are just waiting for you.
Become one of the Friends of the Garden
This is a group of volunteers that perform weekly light maintenance at the Gardens. The work session is followed by a social time, offering refreshments and fellowship while enjoying all the Gardens have to offer. If you are interested in learning more about this group, please contact Peter or Jan Rickard at 705-645-7508.
