Blyth blossoms
nationally in 2001
As a provincial four-bloom
champion in 1999 and runner-up in
2000 nationally, Blyth is again in the
nationals of Communities in Bloom .
For anyone not familiar with this
program, it is a Canadian non-profit
organization committed to recognize
the efforts and involvement of all
municipal, residential, institutional
and social groups to ,improve the
quality of life through beautification,
tidiness, environmental awareness
and heritage conservation. This is a
friendly competition of municipalities
in the population category.
The hanging baskets are waving in
the breezes along with the planters
which the Horticulture Society has
planted. The bridge has-a new look
this year along with the planter boxes,
round containers leading up to the
bridge will be cascading with new-
wave petunias before long. The arena
entrance has petunias potted up. Pink
ivy geraniums have been planted in
the containers below the provincial
signs.
The Grade 6/7 and 8 students at the
Blyth Public. School painted 13
planters (52 sides) with a design of
their choice and filled them with
geraniuMs. These -are placed at the
school until after the judging is done,
It was a beautiful night for lawn
bowling on Monday but it was
rained out Thursday.
Norman Turnbull had the high
score. Janis Vodden provided a
lovely lunch.
There will be no lawn bowling on
Thursday, June 28 due to the seniors'
bus trip.
then they will be brought up on the
main street to be looked after.
Another fundraising event is the
new business signs for both the south
and north end of the main
street welcoming visitors to Blyth.
The fire hydrant challenge has been
well received with approximately 30
hydrants spoken for. These will be
painted by July 12. Judging will
commence July 13. July 21 is

Green thumbs have been busy
• preparing gardens • for the annual
Garden Tour.. This year four local
sites will be open for the public to
visit on Saturday, July 7 between 10
a.m-4 p.m.
Rhea Seeger's home in West
Wawanosh is something visitors
won't want to miss. Seeger is known
as a master gardener and writes a
gardening column in The Rural
Voice monthly.
Her yard is the perfect spot for.
birds to sit among the mighty trees,
the bushes and shrubs.
Water is readily available from a
small garden pond which is tilled
with many natural water plants.
Though situated close to Saratoga
Swamp Seeger's property is located
on a gravel hill, therefore she
mulches her many varieties of
perennials to keep the ground moist.
It is a colourful garden that Seeger
has worked very hard to build and
maintain.
Betty Battye's remarkable
gardens in Blyth encompass most of
her backyard. She fills her gardens
with perenials, herbs and vegetables
to create an oasis in her lot. A water
garden with goldfish contributes to
the habitat of the garden.
Also visitors, should be sure to
check out Jan Vodden's lot. Vodden
is turning her entire yard into
environmentally-friendly gardens.
Filled with dozens of perennials,.
Voddert does not use any sprays or
pesticides.
Her plants are arranged in several
beds, each one with a different
purpose. Her yard is the home to
many creatures with a diverse and
balanced eco-system.
The Blyth Greenway is a spot the
garden tourist can visit anytime of
the year, as it is a public area. It is
featured on the tour because of the
large gardens that can endure hot
and dry conditions and the large
arboretum. Many varieties of trees
are marked.
Most of the Greenway follows the
Blyth Brook, where many rocks
have been added, The rocks reduce
erosion and provide a habitat for
fish. The fish like the riffles and
pools that result in water flowing
over the rocks. It is a place for
nature lovers to enjoy any time of
year.
