Dreaming isn’t just for the sleepy, especially in Ramsay where the Botanist encourages the community to keep dreaming! The botanist is a wooden robot that sits in a garden plot in the Ramsay Community Garden. Its chest holds wildflower paper and pencils, and residents can write their dream on a piece of wildflower paper, plant it and watch it grow into a beautiful flower. July 7^th, 2018 was the annual Ramsay Stampede Party, as well as the unveiling of the Ramsay Botanist and Botanical Garden.

This event attracted around 200 residents, with one resident being a small child who was so excited to plant his wish using every single garden tool he could find. The Botanist also serves as a unique art installation, which adds character to the community garden. No permits were needed to complete this project, so reGenerate Design could put the full $750 ActivateYYC grant towards construction of the Botanist.
