Your Community Connectors,

This summer season has been full of colour!

More than 25 St.Amant community homes participated in the 2024 Community in Bloom program. Each home took the time to renew and refresh their outdoor space and entered a special contest.

Members of the St.Amant Foundation and St.Amant staff toured all the homes and voted for the gardens in different categories: Best Sustainable Garden, Best Small Garden, Best Edible Garden, and Most Improved Garden. There were so many spectacular homes that instead of just one winner, there were 2nd and 3rd place prizes as well.

Thank you to our friends at Jensen’s Nursery and Garden Centre for donating gift cards and their expertise to all the participating homes, and thank you to the St.Amant Foundation for donating the prizes to the winning homes.

Congratulations to all the winners!
