North Grenville, ON – The Municipality of North Grenville is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded four (4) Blooms in the 2024 Communities in Bloom provincial competition.

This recognition underscores North Grenville’s dedication to environmental sustainability, community engagement, and beautification efforts.

The Municipality would like to thank the volunteers who contributed to the profile book, provided tours to the judges, and everyone who makes the community beautiful throughout the year.

In addition to earning four (4) Blooms, North Grenville received special recognition for its exceptional landscaping. The Communities in Bloom judges commended the Municipality for its commitment to creating and maintaining beautiful green spaces that enhance the overall quality of life for both residents and visitors.

“We are very proud of this achievement,” said Mayor Nancy Peckford. “It highlights the tireless efforts of our community members, volunteers, and staff who are dedicated to making North Grenville more beautiful, sustainable, and welcoming. This recognition is a true source of pride for our community.”

Special recognition was given to several local initiatives, including:

• The North Grenville Habitat Gardeners’ biodiverse pollinator gardens at Crozier Park.
• The outstanding seed harvesting and preservation efforts at Ferguson Forest Centre, along with their collaboration with the Indigenous Advisory Circle on the development of Mnojichaag-mitigwaaki (Good Spirit Forest).
• The Kemptville Campus, which was acknowledged for its Community Garden and the innovative programming at the Greenhouse.

The judges also praised the community gardens and the impressive private gardens they visited.

The award ceremony, held in Milton, Ontario, brought together municipalities from across the province to celebrate achievements in environmental stewardship, heritage conservation, and overall community appeal.

Looking ahead, North Grenville remains committed to advancing its sustainability and beautification efforts, with plans to continue enhancing the community’s green spaces through new projects and initiatives.
