As part of the commitment to educate, beautify, encourage visitation, and extend the benefits of the gardens to all members of the communities, the Ecology Gardens include the following projects:

• A number of Workshops are offered during the growing season, such as; Making Stepping Stones, Weaving with Natural Materials, Designing a Garden, Teaching and demonstrations of ecological gardening principles.
  

• Guided Tours
  

• Hands-on Information sessions, e.g. Linking the Ecology Gardens with the classroom.
  

• A Heritage Garden at the Ganaraska Archives Building
  

• A garden for residents at the Port Hope Villa
  

• A garden for the residents of the Community Nursing Home, started in 2001.
  

• A Field Study Centre (Tree and Shrub Nursery): In collaboration with the students and staff of Trinity College School, this is being developed on College property. Plans are also underway for the development of a slat house for both educational support of College students, and research into the preservation and propagation of native tree and shrub species.   
  

Future developments:

• Development of the gardens to encourage and demonstrate greater accessibility for seniors.
  
• Beautifying more areas of the community, e.g. Public park areas, streets, retirement residences, school yards etc.
  
• Extending benefits for seniors and physically challenged, by creating accessible gardens designed both to enhance their surroundings and to encourage them to participate in the development of these gardens.
