Depave Paradise was a program we ran with Green Communities Canada. In total, we depaved four locations. At each location, we removed pavement and replaced it with permeable pavement and native plants. For more information click here.

Horton Farmers' Market

Our first Depave Paradise event in St. Thomas, located at the Horton Farmers' Market, was a success! This project's focus was on adding a pop of native plants to improve the stormwater management and local wildlife biodiversity on the site.

Jeanne Sauvé French Immersion Public School

Our second Depave Paradise event in London was part of the Jeanne Sauvé French Immersion Public School playground. The focus of this project was to remove unnecessary pavement from the school yard and replace it with large gardens full of native plants to boost biodiversity and give the community an example of naturalization in the area. This school is the heart of a rich community and as part of a full schoolyard construction project, Depave Paradise is the first step towards a greener playground for current and future students to benefit from.
