CHEMAINUS, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 22 – Chemainus Communities in Bloom volunteers face plant thefts costing about $100, straining their $7,000 grant that funds over 1,500 volunteer hours annually.
- Mike Nelson, who owns Marl Pits Garden Centre, donated matching hanging baskets to Bacup Pride to replace those stolen from Hempstead’s Peace Garden.
- The donation occurred ahead of the Britain in Bloom judging in Bacup, scheduled for Monday, July 28, following theft from the community display.
- Bacup Pride has planted over 2,500 plants recently and collaborates with groups such as Beavers and Scouts to enhance the town's appearance and encourage young people to develop an interest in gardening.
- Pat Smith, who leads Bacup Pride, expressed sincere appreciation to Mike for his kind contribution, which will help them present the area effectively to the judges.
- The replacement baskets ensure Bacup Pride can maintain its standards after winning Best New Landscape and a Silver Gilt last year, supporting continued community pride.
