Super 8 & Gerry's Gardens 15 July

Congratulations to Super 8 as our "Business Garden of the Week" for July 16. Meticulously maintained by Gerry's Gardening ( as he's Dutch his name is pronounced "Gary" ), the colour and mix of flowers stand out to all who drive along Lakeshore Drive as they are in full sun for most of the day.

While nominated several times this is the first time Super 8 and owner Mr Aladdin have actually won as garden of the week.
Keep up the green work and thank you for making North Bay look great!

Ted Thomson & the Assante Building 08 July

Congratulations to Ted Thomson and the Assante Building for being recognized as "Business Garden of the Week". Located at one of the busiest downtown street corners, the trees and gardens provide a colourful and pleasant visual oasis in the downtown area. Professionally maintained by Gardens by Goodwin the care and thoughtfulness that goes into the gardens shows.
Thank you for taking the time and making the investment to make North Bay look great.

North Bay Golf & Country Club 17 June

Thank you to Karen & Michael at the North Bay Golf & Country Club for making North Bay look great. The broad open spaces and mature trees around any golf course make for a beautiful setting but the extra effort and care that go into the flower beds can make an even stronger impression on guests and visitors to the area.
Professionally cared for by Burrows Country Store and Garden Center, Bob Hudson (third from left) mentioned how much he enjoys seeing the gardens planted and flourishing through the summer.
Keep up the great work and congratulations on being awarded as "Business Garden of the Week"
