Wellington North declares June 17 Garden Day
Wellington North council passed a resolution on June 6 recognizing Garden Days, a three day celebration, beginning June 17, of the role of gardens in everyday life and communities.
Wellington North will recognize National Garden Day the Friday before Father’s Day.
The resolution said the Garden Day will educate residents of the township about the community’s garden culture and history, the importance of public and private gardens, the values of home gardening, the benefits of gardens and the promotion of environmental stewardship.
Nationally, June 17 marks the grand opening of the Canadian Museum of Nature’s “Landscapes of Canada Gardens” in Ottawa.
The exhibit is a living outdoor botanical exhibit at the museum to represent various Canadian ecosystems.
