(L-R) Communities in Bloom Ontario board members Ken Hunter, Ray Hurd and Martin Quinn joined by Joe Salemi and Andrea Bianchi of Landscape Ontario.
Communities in Bloom now part of Landscape Ontario
This spring, Landscape Ontario formalized its partnership with Communities in Bloom (CiB), taking ownership and responsibility for this community-based program in the Ontario region. CiB was established as a national program in 1995 — and for over 25 years, Communities in Bloom Ontario has challenged communities across the province to enhance their cities and towns through the creation of beautiful and environmentally-sustainable gardens and green spaces.
CiB’s slogan, “Growing Great Places Together,” says it all. Landscape Ontario is thrilled to take on this partnership as it’s a wonderful way to help municipalities and individuals gain a better understanding of Landscape Ontario, its members and the power of plants.
Landscape Ontario member admin assistant Andrea Bianchi will be working closely with the CiB board and executive director Joe Salemi to modernize and expand the reach and impact of this beloved program, with a goal of engaging small, medium and large communities across Ontario. The CiB board is now a committee of Landscape Ontario and will have access to staff and infrastructure support.
If you would like to get involved, CiB is looking for help with outreach to local communities, as well as volunteer judges. Please email andreab@landscapeontario.com for more information.
