Communities in Bloom will be planting flowers in the downtown barrels, the planters at the historic firehall, planters at the Community Hall and in front of the Village Office on May 14.
Thank you once again to the firemen who water all the barrels the night before during their fire practice. This ensures that the soil is nice and moist and gives the little plants a great start.
It then becomes the responsibility of the business owners to make sure that the barrels are watered and looked after. These barrels add such a nice colourful display to our downtown area.
If anyone would like to lend us a hand in the planting they can meet in front of the Ashcroft Bakery at 6:30 on May 14. Bring your garden gloves and a small trowel.
