The Grove Theatre Update: Landscaping, Planting and Beautification Efforts have Begun!

Submitted by Maddy Warlow on behalf of Kawartha Works Community Co-operative

Some exciting updates are happening with the new Grove Theatre in Fenelon Falls! Landscaping, planting and beautification has begun. 

We want to extend a huge thank you to the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society who have volunteered their efforts with a contracting team to take on landscaping and planting at the outdoor amphitheatre. With the help of a $15,000 grant from the Fenelon Legacy CHEST Fund contributed by the City of Kawartha Lakes for the landscaping, the development of the Grove Theatre continues to progress throughout the fall season.

"When you go up the hill, through the woods, and around the corner, you see a truly extraordinary sight. What this group of talented volunteers has accomplished on the fairgrounds is nothing short of remarkable. What they are creating will be a showcase, and example of a community group creating a huge drawing card to attract residents and visitors to town for a unique experience. I have no doubts that their progress going forward will be a great success story," said Councillor Doug Elmslie.

Planting began on Tuesday, October 20th and the work will continue over the next little while as the Grove Theatre construction continues. “We had lots of fun with the planting. It's a great group,” said Kathy Armstrong, member of the Horticultural Society.
