Ashcroft Communities in Bloom is proud to announce the 10 recipients of the 2015 Scott’s sponsored Best Garden Selection awards. The 10 properties selected were chosen based on the overall appearance of the property, neatness, aesthetic appeal, floral displays, and use of trees and shrubs. It is no easy task choosing these properties, as Ashcroft is known for its tidiness and well-tended yards.
The property owners will proudly display a sign on their property. They’ve also received a congratulatory letter, and garden products, from Scott’s Miracle-Gro.
This year’s recipients are:
209 Cliff: Kathy Morris
709 Brink Lane: Lorna Delling
1440 Riverside: Ron and Hilda Jones
432 Ranch: Stan Aie and Pam Sidwell
1305 Western: Lettie Hansen
1311 Western: Betty Brown
806 Hill: Steve and Sylvia Gapp
1417 Pears Place: Fred Seher, Sr.
707 Elm: Marie Whiting
145 Barnes: Dwight and Barb Hodder
Communities in Bloom also chose to honour six local residents for their amazing vegetable gardens. We saw some very fine vegetable gardens, and are sure there are even more that we don`t know about. The owners were presented with a recognition for their gardens.
1413 Battel: Emily Monette
114 Barnes: Anne Marie McLean
212 Ash: Willy Aie
214 Ash: Oliviero Lepri
1417 Pears Place: Fred Seher, Sr.

Just a reminder to all Ashcroft residents and businesses that the judges for Communities in Bloom will be touring the village on July 24, and judging us on all the eight categories that comprise Communities in Bloom: Tidiness, Environmental Awareness, Community Involvement, Natural and Cultural Heritage Conservation, Urban Forest Management, Landscaped Areas, Floral Displays, and Turf and Groundcovers. Let’s do our best to wow them with everything we have here to be proud of.
