A very special and brave little lady saw a wish come true on Saturday when a previously typical city backyard was transformed into an oasis in all of eight hours.
Sophie and family’s request was for a camping-themed space from which to create memories outdoors this summer from the comfort of their home in Brandon.
Through The Dream Factory and with the help of Livingstone Landscaping, Home Depot Brandon and Iron Age Welding their yard saw the addition of a modern patio and landscaping elements, a custom-designed fire pit, a brand new barbecue and an amazing variety of patio furniture for their spacious deck.
You can watch the landscaping portion of the makeover come to fruition over the course of Saturday in the timelapse video below that compresses the day into just over a minute:
With work complete a little after 4pm, the landscaper shared photos of the finished product that showed few areas of the backyard left untouched over the course of Saturday's efforts.
Representatives of The Dream Factory were on-site on Saturday in assisting with and documenting the day. More information on how the organization helped make the family’s request a reality this week has been shared at https://www.thedreamfactory.ca/blog/meet-sophie
I’d like to share most sincere wishes to Jen, Bruce and Sophie in enjoying what our beautiful Westman summer has to offer from the comfort of their magical new space.
