Parkhill in Bloom

Discontinued in 2009

History:

Based on our previous positive experience with the Communities in Bloom competition we decided to keep the competition within our own town. It was a lot of work to compete in the province wide Communities in Bloom competition but it also brought out the best in many of the gardens and gardeners. A lot of people enjoyed working towards a certain goal or "judgment day". 

After the amalgamation of Parkhill with the adjacent townships to the  Municipality of North Middlesex we would have to compete in a different category in Communities in Bloom. We did not think we would be able to organize ourselves to compete on that level. However, we sure can organize our own town and there we are - Parkhill in Bloom - a new event was born.
