After the community of Eston was selected, the Communities in Bloom committee began the process of choosing seven winning floral gardens in Eston. “Our committee took note of several front yard floral displays, as well as asking residents to submit photos of any backyard displays they would like to be considered,” Val explained.

“Once we narrowed this down to seven winners, we presented the recipients with congratulatory letters, yard signage and Miracle Gro products that Scott’s Canada had sent out to us,” she said.

The Best Garden Display recipients included: Margaret and Cliff Olorenshaw, Lori Poulter, Donna Code, Nancy Stevenson, Helena Giesbrecht, Town of Eston office and Prosperity Credit Union - Eston Branch.

Photos of each winning display were sent to Scott’s Canada for use on the Communities in Bloom and Scott’s Miracle-Gro Canada Facebook pages. “This is the second time we participated in the program,” Val said. “A big thank you to everyone who helps keep our town beautiful. Your efforts truly make a difference.”
