Barclay House Retirement Living Friday, July 2
It was Donna Chaulk's last day at work today, so being recognized for having the "Business Garden of the Week" seemed a great way to celebrate her last day as manager at Barclay House. Desneiges Foisy was also on hand as she oversees the garden areas and helps the residents who may be interested in helping with the gardens or simply wish to sit down and enjoy them. Easily visible from the Highway and a pleasure for all of the residents and visitors, thank you to Donna & Desneiges for making Barclay House and North Bay look great!
McDonald's Lakeshore Drive Friday, 24 June
Jennifer & Rob accept the certificate for Business Garden of the Week from Claude Sharma with North Bay Blooms sponsor Cogeco. Inspite of a few shadflies this week, McDonald's maintain one of the largest and most colourful gardens along Lakeshore Drive, one of the major routes into the city. Rather than pave to the sidewalk they have made the commitment and the investment to make their location and North Bay look great. Professionally maintained by Krista, who tends a number of business gardens around town, thanks to everyone for adding some colour to everyone's Lakeshore commute.
Casey's Bar & Grill Friday, 17 June
Speaking with Terry & Janice Tourigny who own the local Casey's you get a sense of the pride they get from looking after the gardens and landscaping around there restaurant. As of mid June they had actually planted flowers twice to keep up with changing floral seasons and Terry enjoys pointing out the mature maples and cedars they planted as saplings and shrubs years ago.
Again this is a very visible property from the highways and congratulations to Terry & Janice for making not only Casey's look great but also North Bay - great first impressions of the City for anyone driving by.
