It may be months away, but John Doyle of Doyle and Bond garden design is already in the Christmas spirit.
Doyle has put together a project that will see 21 fully-decorated Christmas trees donated to Saanich Peninsula Hospital in time for the festive season.
Doyle said the donation was inspired by a talk he had with hospital volunteers, who believe the trees will help lift the spirits of patients staying at the hospital over the holidays.
The “designer Christmas trees,” as Doyle refers to them, will each have their own theme, designed by a local designer.
Doyle is looking to the community to help with the project, by either buying individual ornaments to put on the trees, or by sponsoring an entire tree.
Sponsors who buy the ornaments for an entire tree, costing around $1,200, will be recognized with their name printed on the tree skirt.
The first tree has already been sponsored, getting the project off to a good start.
Those interested in contributing to the trees can donate new ornaments or buy ornaments at Doyle and Bond. For more informaion call Doyle at 778-426-4436.
