This week is Communities in Bloom Week in Strathcona County — as proclaimed by Deputy Mayor Aaron Nelson. The full proclamation is here.

“Communities in Bloom Week celebrates the positive impact Communities in Bloom has on communities. Residents of all ages and abilities can make a meaningful impact by volunteering with Strathcona in Bloom. From nominating your neighbour’s garden, to picking up the trowel and maintaining a flower bed in your neighbourhood, anyone can become involved!”

Preparations for this summer are well underway — greenhouses have been contacted, bed plans are being made, volunteers are being recruited etc. It is not too late to volunteer. We still need 10-20 volunteers to do our best this summer. Check out our Volunteer posts and let us know. We need all of you to be the best we can be.
