Transplant Manitoba's Garden of Life
The Transplant Manitoba's Garden of Life is an ever-growing symbol of the new life that is possible because of organ donation and transplantation. The Garden, situated in Assiniboine Park across from the Conservatory, is filled with almost 3000 plants that depict the shape, color or care of the vital organs used in transplantation. This innovative public relations initiative was created by the program in 1998 to heighten awareness of organ donation and transplantation in Manitoba. Volunteers, many of whom are transplant recipients and donor family members, lovingly maintain the Garden from May through September.

Another creative and beautiful garden awaits visitors at Assiniboine Park this summer, thanks to the Spring Clean-Up and Planting Day volunteers of The Garden of Life!

Our Garden is well stocked again this year, thanks to Shelmerdine Garden Centre Ltd., Bartmanovich Nursery, the Assinboine Park Conservatory, Vanstone Nurseries and Lacoste Garden Centre. Lunch and snacks on planting day were provided by Subway Sandwiches, Pepsi Cola Canada Beverages and Saputo Inc.
