Knowledge Garden opens for another year

PRINCE GEORGE – Now that the weather is warmer, the Prince George Public Library is happy to announce it has opened its Knowledge Garden for another season.

“The Knowledge Garden is a beautiful oasis right here in downtown Prince George, just a stone’s throw away from the Prince George Public Library, a place where people can come down, have their lunch, sit down, read a nice book, and just enjoy the sunshine,” said the Library’s Manager of Communications and Engagement Steve Hamilton.

Hamilton says the garden will be open at 10:15 a.m. on Mondays to Saturdays, and it will close 30 minutes before the library’s scheduled closing time. Hamilton hopes anyone interested stops by, whether you want to read, have a lunch, or just relax somewhere, he hopes the community takes advantage of the beautiful garden right beside the library.

“The library is all about accessibility and being open to everybody, and that’s essentially what this place is. You can get in here quite easily, it’s easy to move around. We got a lot of native plants, we’ve got haskaps and Saskatoon berries, we’ll have vegetables over there, and people are encouraged to come down here and enjoy what we’ve got right here in downtown,” Hamilton said.

He adds there will be free events hosted throughout the season at the garden’s mini-ampitheatre, like Storytime Under the Stars, Bicycle Repair Café, Knit in Public Day, and more.

“This amphitheatre is a throwback to those that may remember our original location on Brunswick, the little story pit we had in there. That’s what this is designed around and that’s what it’s used for. Sometimes people come down, they’ll enjoy the grass, sit down, read a book, and sometimes we’ll have storytimes in here and a lot of fun events with the library,” Hamilton said.

Weather permitting, the Knowledge Garden is expected to be open until October.
