The Town of BWG, with the coordination of the Healthy Communities Advisory Committee, is excited to participate in this year’s Communities in Bloom challenge: “Hope is growing”!
To spread hope across Canada and throughout the community of Bradford West Gwillimbury, we are encouraging residents to plant a Hope Garden. A Hope Garden features the colour yellow, whether with flowers, shrubs or fruits and vegetables in your gardens, planters, hanging baskets or anywhere you have space to grow.
The Town of BWG will be participating by putting yellow flowers and plants in Town flowerbeds and baskets. Let’s paint the town yellow to show we care!
Are you interested in planting a Hope Garden? Find out more, including how to enter both the local and national prize draws, by visiting www.townofbwg.com/hope-is-growing
DID YOU KNOW …?
Black-Eyed Susans(Rudbeckia) are the official flower of Bradford West Gwillimbury!
They are native to North America and thrive in just about any sunny location. Bees and butterflies flock to the blooms and birds enjoy the seed heads after the flowers fade. They usually take more than one season to grow from seed, so find them already started at your garden centre or plan for next year by getting your free seeds from the BWG Library’s Seed Library!
