Evergreen has begun to partner with Habitat for Humanity affiliates, and recently we partnered on a build with Habitat for Humanity in Edmonton to install ecologically-friendly habitat gardens at a low-income high-crime area located in the Norwood community. The build consists of nine units that were completed in the spring of 2008. Each family selected their preferred plants species and Evergreen worked with them to install ecologically sustainable/community friendly landscapes. Project components delivered by Evergreen included:

• Community consultation and design
• Support for voluneers and homeowners throughout the planting process
• Education and resources
• Support and maintenance – ongoing throughout the year
