Thank You for helping us pave Memory Lane
The St. Albert Botanic Park is a beautiful five acre botanical garden that has grown into what it is today thanks to the time, effort and financial support provided by community members and garden lovers alike.
Over the years volunteers have constructed paths from the gazebo through Crabapple Lane, the Cottage Garden and the Restful Garden. This has allowed easier access for visitors with strollers, walkers, wheelchairs or others with mobility challenges. Often missed during their visit were the outstanding and colourful displays of Asiatic Lilies, Daylilies, Iris and Lilacs. These along with our collection of pines, the Habitat Garden and numerous trees and shrubs are all located in the west Park where we did not have a paved path.
Construction of Memory Lane
The St. Albert Botanic Park began the Engraved Brick Campaign in spring of 2021 to raise funds to complete a brick pathway so that everyone can enjoy all that the West Park has to offer. With the popularity of this project, we have made allowances in the path and were able to continue to sell bricks for installation even though construction of the path was completed in August 2022. The last brick was sold in early summer 2024 and we sincerely thank everyone who purchased bricks and helped complete this project.
Engraved Bricks were available in two sizes:
A choice of images was available if you wished to add to your brick.
Tax receipts were issued to everyone who purchased a brick.
If you are interested in purchasing a brick for a future project please contact us by email at [email protected].
Donations without a purchase of a brick are always welcomed and appreciated as we continue to enhance and care for the Park. Donations can be made online through CanadaHelps.
All Donations of $25 or more will receive a charitable tax receipt.
