Pet Portrait Fundraiser!
IT’S TIME! BOOKINGS ARE OPEN!
On May 22, 23, and 24, visit the pet portrait fundraiser in Burlington to help local rescues who are overwhelmed right now with vet bills and dogs needing care.
These are the same rescues pulling dogs out of really hard situations, and right now, they need us.
For a minimum $45 donation plus tax, you’ll get a beautiful studio portrait of your dog on a clean white background, and 100% of your session fee goes directly to the rescues.
A charitable tax receipt will be provided.
Even better, if you fall in love with more images, 50% of all additional sales are donated too.
So your dog’s photo isn’t just a photo… it’s helping feed, treat, and save another dog’s life.
Your gallery will be ready within one week. You’ll choose your favourite image to be fully edited, with the option to purchase more if you’d like, no pressure
If you can’t attend, you can still donate

Walk-ins are welcome, but booking ahead is best so you don’t have to wait.
And if you do end up waiting, you can always grab a coffee at Peach Coffee Co right next door

Native Plant Sale
Join us for our annual Native Plant Sale! This is a fundraising event to help support Green Venture programming.
This year, we are hosting our plant sale at our home office, EcoHouse! Come out and get your hands on some amazing native plants for your garden! Sign up to let us know you're coming! Signing up for the event helps us gauge public interest, but it is not necessary to attend! Plants are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
This year, with the help of the Rain Ready team, we have curated a list of natives that would be welcome additions to any Rain Garden.
All plants will be labelled with their appropriate planting zones to help take the guesswork out of where the plants should go.
Take a look at the plant list on our website! https://www.greenventure.ca/nativeplantsale
