The first buds
are starting to
develop on
Seaforth's
Communities iri
Bloom prepara-
tions.
The bridge
boxes for the
three bridges in
Seaforth at the
east end of
Highway 8 by
Lions Park, at
the Seaforth
Industrial P&rk
and at the south
edge of
Egmondville,
have been plant-
ed.
"We're hoping
to put them up in
time for the com-
munity garage
sale weekend at
the beginning of
June," says Barb
Dalrymple, of
Huron East.
As well, plans
are in the works
to give Victoria
Park a facelift,
especially around
the bandshell
and the cenotaph.
"We're taking
out the low
groundcover and
shrubs and
putting in new
flower beds. Our
master gardeners
are helping us
choose flowers
that do well in
the shade," she
says.
The
Legion
Cindy Bos, of RR 5 Clinton and Kim Sweeney, of Brucefield, both of Plant Paradise
in Vanastra, help to plant the bridge boxes to be used in Seaforth during the
Communities in Bloom competition.
"People coming into town will see the boule-
vard gardens and say, "Wow" at the splash of
colour," she says.
Signs at the town entrances are still being
spruced up, with north and south signs
receiving new paint jobs and east and west
signs getting expanded flowerbeds.
The Seaforth BIA is planning a garden tour
in conjunction with the Seaforth Horticultural
Society as part of the Communities in Bloom
competition.
"They haven't picked out the gardens that
will be featured yet," says Dalrymple.
She's happy to report that Seaforth home-
owners are beginning to call the municipality
to double check the colours that will be used
for Communities in Bloom.
Residentsare being asked to use red,
white,
fuschia, lime green and yellow in their planti
ngs this year.
By Susan Hundertmark
ladies will be helping to plant
the gardens at the ceno-
taph once the ground is
prepared.
Also, the bandshell will
get some fresh paint.
Boulevard gardens
between the sidewalks
and the road are being
planned on both Main
Street North and
Goderich Street West.
Dalrymple says she's
still looking for students
to contribute volunteer
hours to planting the
boulevard gardens which
the four property owners
have agreed to maintain
once they're planted.
