Creemore Blooms names top 5 gardens

The Creemore Horticultural Society has announced the top five local gardens as chosen by Creemore Blooms judges.

In no particular order, the winners are Catharine Sumner, Pat and Chris Raible, Maggie Sears, Bob Ransier and Cheryl Miller.

The winning gardens are located at 31 Wellington St. E, 122 Collingwood St., 56 George St., 2889 Fairgrounds Rd. and 17 Wellington St. W.

A panel of three independent assessors toured the Creemore area last month and picked the best front gardens based on curb appeal, maintenance, use of colour, shape and texture, balance, selection, use of a focal point and style.

Winners were presented stakes to display in their gardens.
