Garden Festival. March 6, 7. 8 and 9
at the Stratford Coliseum.
The theme of this year’s show is A
River Runs Through It. At the show,
the use of lighting, unusual materials,
water and gardens will create the
sense of wandering by a stream.
Proceeds from The Stratford
Garden Festival will support The
Lung Association's research commit
ments and health education initia
tives.
Speakers will talk on a variety of
garden topics and visitors can see the
latest in garden ornamentation and the
work of area landscapers.
A continuous series of presenta
tions will feature speakers such as: Ed
Lawrence, gardening expert on CBC
Radio’s Monday noon phone-in pro
gram; Harry Jongerden, head garden
er at the Stratford Festival; John
Glorious song
The Faith in Song concert held at Blyth Memorial Hall, Feb. 8 drew a full house as patrons
enjoyed songs of faith from five acts. Local singers Deb Siertsema and Darlene VanderVeen
along with guitarist Jim Parish and drummer Calvin Bakelaar (not pictured) were among the
performers. The event was sponsored by the ABC (Auburn-Blyth-Clinton) Women’s Ministries
from the evangelical chapels. The funds raised will help the ministry. (Janice Becker photo)

Heritage Perennials, weli known for

There will be other daily features at
the Stratford Garden Festival. K-W

the show. Snyder is well known for
his pictures of Mennonite life.
Another unique opportunity for vis
itors to the Stratford Garden Festival
will be offered by Blackcreek
Technologies. Bring a photo of your
garden and Blackcreek will scan it
into their computers so that you can
experiment with different plans and
plant material in your garden.
Thirteen uniquely designed garden
spaces will provide ideas for every
one.
Every day of the Stratford Garden
Festival will bring something special.
On Thursday, March 6, at 5 p.m. there
will be a special tribute to R. Thomas
Orr to whom this year’s show is ded
icated. Ninety years ago, Orr was
instrumental in forcing the City
forthcoming^
Marriage
Council of Stratford to hold a referen
dum to assess the support of its plan
to allow the CPR to build a railway
along the Avon River, right through
the centre of Stratford. This was the
beginning of a strong commitment to
gardens and a park system that affects
the life of Stratford/to this day.
Friday evening, March 7 the lights
will be turned down creating a place
of romance with wine and beer tast
ing, food sampling and buskers to
entertain the visitors. All of this is
included with admission.
Saturday, March 8 the day will
