Liza Fuller - Grand Prize Winner in Home Hardware's Canadian Garden Contest

We had our Trillium Award Celebration evening this past week.  I get to do the presentation.  It consists of a picture of each front garden (viewable from the street), and then a commentary About a notable feature of their garden and of garden design.  They receive their Trillium 'stake' from our Mayor - Bob Bentley.  At the end we take a group photo - a panorama that I piece together of the whole group. One of our Trillium winners this year (and most years) is Liza Fuller, who lives at 472 Wolverton Rd in Grimsby.  This is on the escarpment and is a very large rural property with a central pond with gardens surrounding it.  It is very notable from the road - it has the Wow Factor that we look for in Curb Appeal. Liza has won the grand prize of the Home Hardware Canada's Backyard Garden Contest.  There were more than 500 gardens entered from across Canada. Yesterday Raymond Carriere, the Founding President of Communities in Bloom presented Liza with her first place award - $1,000 - at our Grimsby Home Hardware.   Liza thanked us for our Grimsby Garden Club website and Facebook coverage of her award. People stopped in all day yesterday to congratulate her and see the garden.  Here's the Communities in Bloom link to the contest HERE.  It doesn't show the awards yet.
