A few weeks ago Harvest Gardens had a wee set back as the centre piece flower bed had some unwanted visitors. Consensus is that vandals decided to pick a few flowers and toss them on the ground. I have a different theory, where by the flowers had a housewarming party to celebrate their new digs and had a few too many cocktails. Slightly dazed and confused from all the party excitement they lost their way on a walk about the garden and never found their way home (flowers aren't known for their sense of direction, but have you ever known a potato to get lost).
Regardless of the cause, we were a little short on flowers for the centre bed despite some great neighbors who did their best to replant the hungover flowers. It was a little demoralizing after all the work that had gone into the planting and care of the garden.
But I'm very happy to communicate that Canadian Tire heard our story and immediately stepped in providing us any plant material that we required. A few flats of petunias, some succulents for the edge, some really neat grass and giant marigolds for the centre and we're back in business. The business of looking awesome that is. I can't say enough about Canadian Tire stepping up for the community. They didn't bat a lash when asked to help out and even provided someone to help plan the replacement flowers. They helped turn my frown upside down. They made replanting a wonderful experience and I was glad to meet some really wonderful people at Canadian Tire.
Thanks you so much Canadian Tire! Please stop by for a visit.
