Windsor’s Winter Blooms attracts over 1,000 visitors
Over 1,000 visitors enjoyed the fourth annual Winter Blooms in Windsor. The one-day landscape and garden expo is presented by Landscape Ontario Windsor Chapter and St. Clair College, with proceeds to Hospice of Windsor and Essex County and St. Clair College Foundation.
The Mar. 28th event saw a good increase in association and industry participation. The event had an environmental theme, including green roofs, living walls and water harvesting. Featured speakers included Paul Zammit, Roger Beaulieu, Perry Molema, Kees Govers and St. Clair's own Don Tellier and Jay Terryberry, who were guest hosts of AM800 CKLW's Saturday morning landscape and gardening segment on the radio show, Live and Local.
Special thanks to all members of Landscape Ontario Windsor Chapter for their participation and especially Karl Klinck, Don Tellier and Chris Power for their dedication and insight in piecing together this successful show. Additional thanks must also go to Jay Terryberry, John Lein, Jason Milling, Shannon Arnold and the many horticulture technician students for all their efforts and support.
