Wow!  Neville McKay AND Pete Luckett!! This will be great!

You can’t go wrong at the Blooms by the Sea show. Looks like it has something for everyone. Hope I get to take it all in. Already looking forward to next year.

I see one of the workshops is on new tools by Lee Valley. I can’t wait to see what is new and exciting to garden with this year. Anything to make it easier.

What a great place to volunteer. You get to meet thousands of gardeners and get lots of ideas for your own garden. I know I am looking forward to the weekend.

The challenge has just beeen issued to gardeners to form a team and enter the Saulnier’s Home Hardware Gardener’s Challenge. Get a team together and create a garden of any style or theme.  There is no cost to register, spaces are free. Have some fun, show off your talents and you could win a cash prize. Contact info@bloomsbythesea.com for more information.

We now have over 20 birdhouses being decorated by artists and other celebrities for our silent auction. Profits from this event wil be donated for Cancer Care. The birdhouses will be on display throughout the weekend at “Blooms by the Sea”.

Thanks to Coral Kincaid of LeHavre, there is now a day lily named “Blooms by the Sea” in honour of the show. The yellow day lily will be unveiled during the show, which runs from May 1st-3rd at the Mariners Centre in Yarmouth. The Yarmouth Garden Show Association is extremely grateful to Coral for this special recognition.

I am so glad to hear that Neville MacKay will be a featured speaker at Blooms By the Sea!  He is so entertaining!! If you haven’t heard him yet, be prepared to hold your sides from all the laughing! You will also learn a great deal about flower arranging!

This sounds very interesting.  How soon can I register for workshops?  Will there be babysitting? 

The Town of Yarmouth has received top honours in the Communities in Bloom program. For the second year in a row, the town has been awarded a five bloom rating, and this year was a winner in its category. Yarmouth has been invited to compete at the national level. While the whole community deserves credit, special thanks is owed to the CIB Committee and the town staff. Congratulations!
