What is Ground Breakers?
- Groundbreakers is group, that selects naturalization, beautification and other green projects in Oakville and then carries
them out to completion.
- Ground Breakers is a “super” group, composed of members from all of Oakville’s existing green groups
and others who have varied expertise such as naturalists, biologists and horticulturists.
- Ground Breakers is structured to combine and draw on the expertise and resources of Oakville’s many community groups.
- Ground Breakers actively seeks community partnerships – with neighbourhood, school, youth and church groups, local
government, businesses and interested members of the public. In our first year, the group partnered with Girl Guides, neighbourhood
members, a church group, Starbucks, the Town of Oakville and Evergreen.
- Plantings last for only two hours. The key to our success is many hands make light work.
- The plantings are organized. Plant material, gardening gloves, shovels, trowels, mulch and everything else we need to
get the job done, is supplied.
- Experts are on hand to explain what we are doing and why, and to show you exactly what to do.
What's In It For Me?
- The opportunity to work as a team with neighbours and friends on a project that will benefit your entire community for
generations to come.
- The chance to learn more about Oakville's natural environment and native trees and plants.
