She knew about chemistry and a\n little about business, which came in handy when she and her husband ran\n a cement plant on Vancouver Island. But their business venture turned \ninto an eyesore when the quarry near their house ran out of limestone, \nleaving a huge, ugly pit in the ground. Every day, Jennie stared at the \npit in frustration. She wished there was a way to make it beautiful. \nThen one day, she had an idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLittle by little, Jennie worked\n to make her vision a reality.

Jennie and her team slowly transformed the barren hole into an \nenchanting public garden, bursting with colour and life!
