This summer North Bay Blooms will be partnering with the Million Acts of Green campaign to recognize local environmentally positive projects that relate to gardens and greenspaces or are just a really good idea worth sharing.
Nipissing Environmental Watch will be hosting their 7th annual organic gardening contest. Please click on the link below for details of this years contest or to see some of the previous year's winners.

By using a reusable shopping bag rather than disposable film plastic bag, you can do your part to reduce the over 2 and a half million plastics bags North Bay consumers throw away every year. One person at a time can make a difference with only a little additional effort. Our goal is to reduce local plastic bag use by 15% in 2008. Biodegradable, starch based plastic bags are also a great way to reduce plastic bag litter.
