Our Flower Show - What the Judges Look For

Hi everyone,
There are resources on the Gardenontario (Ontario Horticultural Association) website that will be very useful for this Monday, September 28th Flower and Photography Show.

Here's a link to the resources and then a reproduction of the brochure to read.

Trillium Recognition 2015

The Grimsby Trillium program is an initiative shared by the Grimsby Garden Club and the Town of Grimsby.  It promotes community pride by recognizing residents who, by landscaping and maintaining their property, contribute to a more attractive neighbourhood and community. 

Volunteer judges review each property in the town using specific criteria.  All properties in the Town of Grimsby are reviewed and considered for the Trillium Awards.  This includes residential and non-residential properties. 

The Trilliums were awarded in a ceremony at Town Hall on Wednesday, September 16th, 7:30pm.  Mayor Bob Bentley presented each winner with their Trillium stake.  There were approximately 60 recipients this year.  We  congratulate you on your contribution to beautifying Grimsby.  We thank our volunteers who contributed their time and energy to judging.

If you want to see all of the recipient gardens, then go to our website 

www.grimsbygardenclub.ca 

or directly to these links - the presentation is divided into three parts.
