Business Garden of the Week 2019
Davedi Club 02 August, 2019
When long time Davedi Club volunteer Adrian Santarossa planted the seeds in his home this past March, due to a serious health concern, he wasn't sure if he would see his flowers bloom this summer.
Fortunately for the Davedi Club, and anyone who drives along Airport Road, his health returned and he has been delighted to see the gardens he patiently cares for come to full bloom and earn recognition from North Bay Blooms Chair Maureen Ranger as a Business Garden of the Week.Congratulations Adrian and we hope you are able to plant and enjoy the gardens for many years to come.

Tim Horton's, 25 Lakeshore Drive 26 July, 2019
North Bay Blooms Chair Maureen Ranger was delighted to recognize Tim Horton’s, 25 Lakeshore Drive, as the Business Garden of the Week, one of the few businesses to be recognized a second time. North Bay Blooms thought that Annette Walter, with All About Gardens, had done such a great job this summer of "doubling" up the colours and varieties of flowers this summer, that they deserved the recognition again. “We think it’s a pleasure for passersby on the sidewalk or driving along Lakeshore Drive to enjoy the garden that adds so much to what otherwise could simply a paved-over parking area," said Ranger."Many people appreciate the investment and effort local businesses make to beautify their property for everyone to enjoy and North Bay Blooms is pleased to recognize and thank them."

East Side Mario's 19 July, 2019
North Bay Blooms is recognizing a “business garden of the week” for each of the next three weeks, and Chair Maureen Ranger says this week’s garden is East Side Mario’s.
"For anyone driving along Lakeshore Drive the five-foot-tall red tomato is pretty hard to miss. With the help of Heather Klooster, with A & H Landscaping, they have added lilies, hostas, and a mix of other colourful plants to the flower beds," explains Ranger.
North Bay Blooms likes to recognize and appreciate the businesses that make the effort to invest in making their business, and our community, look more attractive for guest and residents.
