Bloomin' Boxes is a friendly competition that was initiated to help beautify the towns of Turner Valley and Black Diamond while encouraging local shopping. Business owners plant and care for a floral display to enhance the look of their store, which contributes to the overall appearance of the community.
The floral displays are judged by members from the Valley Neighbours Gardening Club.
Again this year the judges have commented that the containers have improved in their “wow” factor and creativity and they would like to commend all who took part.
And the winners are:
NEW CONTAINER:
- Fired Up Auto
CONTAINER:
- 1st - Valley Liquor Store
- 2nd - Black Diamond Gallery
GARDEN:
- 1st - Black Diamond Gallery
- 2nd - Lions Campground
PEOPLE'S CHOICE:
- Western Financial Group
HONOURABLE MENTION:
- Planet Auto
Congratulations must go out to all those that participated as the gardens and containers were outstanding this year in spite of the many challenges presented by Mother Nature.
As the 2011 Bloomin' Boxes wraps up, a huge thanks goes out to the Town of Turner Valley for sponsoring this event and to the many businesses that planted and cared for their displays. As well, thanks to all the residents and visitors that took the time to cast a vote for their favourite Bloomin' Box. From all the ballots cast, several prizes were awarded and very special thanks go out to the local businesses that sponsored prizes. A warm thanks also to the volunteers from the Valley Neighbours' Gardening Club for sharing their time and expertise. All of your support is greatly appreciated. Again this year kudos goes to Carole Knight, as her hard work and dedication make the whole program possible.
In closing, thanks to everyone that contributed to the success of the 2011 Bloomin' Boxes.
