The Town of Kingsville is celebrating the Year of the Garden with a free community event.
On May 1, the town's Communities in Bloom Committee is putting on the event to promote environmental stewardship and highlight the love of gardening shared in the community.
"Kingsville is so fortunate. As Canada's most southern town, we enjoy a mild climate perfect for gardening, and our citizens are very enviro-conscious", explained Councillor Thomas Neufeld, Chair of Kingsville's Communities in Bloom Committee. "We wanted to celebrate these attributes with a day of fun and learning along themes of gardening, love of nature, and care for the environment that will appeal to the whole family."
Starting at 10:00 a.m. in Lakeside Park's Pavilion, exhibitors and vendors will offer hands-on craft workshops using natural and recycled materials. Workshops will also be offered throughout the day. For a full list of vendors and times visit Kingsville's Communities in Bloom website .
The federal government declared 2022 the Year of the Garden in June 2021. The Canadian Nursery Landscape Association initiated the concept as a centennial celebration of Canada's ornamental horticultural sector. The intention is to commemorate Canada's rich garden heritage, celebrate today's vibrant garden culture, and create important legacies for a sustainable future.
