Mapleton Buds and Blooms met on May 24 to learn about different ways to prevent and control garden pests and also to hold their spring flower show.
The group decided to donate $50 to the Highway for Heroes Project, which will be matched by Garden Ontario. This is a program to plant 117,000 trees along Highway 401 to honour fallen Canadian soldiers.
The plant and bake sale on June 5 was a success due to those who bought plants or baking. “You will see various volunteers tending and planting a number of community gardens, which is made possible by these funds. We are very thankful for the Mapleton community that supports our endeavours,” officials state.
At the June 28 meeting an expert apple grower will teach attendees all about apples.
