Belfountain Commons Garden

It's a Work in Progress

For The Commons in the center of Belfountain, the transformation has begun. A local stone mason, designer and artisan is working his magic, building a loose stone wall, as the back drop for our expanded Commons. It's looking great. Although newly built with ancient stone, our 'heritage' wall is almost compete. Drop by and take a peek. New paving material, flagstone, purchased from a local quarry, DeForest Brothers, is a new feature beneath our feet. You may notice a slight pink / beige tinge to the stone, perhaps reminding you of the Ontario legislature buildings in the City. Stone for that structure came from this area too.

We are very excited about the work being done and the progress to date and look forward to seeing the completed project, well, Phase 1 anyway, in time for the Salamander Festival, this October 2.

Phase 2 is the construction of a pergola, containing additional seating and several interpretive plaques describing the culture, history and ecology of this area.
