Communities In Bloom Project Album
 
Making improvements to your yard, garden, or store front?? Adding a new and improved floral display to your building, church, or school? Please support Communities in Bloom by letting us know about your projects. We are asking you to submit before and/or after photos, or one of our committee members will take photos for you. These will be added to the album that will be shown to the judges to demonstrate that community groups and individuals are supporting our entry in the program. Contact Holly at 367-2116 for more information.
 
Fruitvale in Bloom Door Hanger
 
Does someone in your neighborhood or on your walk route deserve recognition for special effort in their yard, residence, business or boulevard for helping make our community “bloom”? If so, the Village of Fruitvale and the Communities in Bloom Committee invite you to stop by the Village Office and for a donation of $1.00 you can pick up a laminated “door hanger” to recognize their effort. You can present this attractive acknowledgment of achievement to them in person, or, if you prefer, just place it on their door handle to surprise them. For an extra $1.00 the Village Office will mail it to the recipient on your behalf. All donations will go to the Communities in Bloom efforts.

If you are a lucky recipient of the Fruitvale In Bloom Door Hanger, please leave it on your door knob until the judges come to town to show that someone thinks you are doing a great job in keeping Fruitvale “blooming”.
 
Communities in Bloom Results
 
The judges’ votes are in and Fruitvale received 3 blooms for our effort in second Communities in Bloom competition. The judges were very pleased with the community involvement in our Village.

Thank you to everyone who spruced up their yards and gardens and to everyone who volunteered their time to Fruitvale in Bloom!

We hope we can count on you again for the 2008 competition.

Garden Tour
 
The Friends of the Beaver Valley Public Library and the Beaver Valley Blooming Society are looking for gardens for the 5th Annual Beaver Valley Garden Tour. If you are interested in showcasing your garden, please contact Mary Ann at 367-9635 by April 30, 2008.
 
Container Competition
 
Create a "container" that may be a traditional, but outstanding, hanging basket or pot. Or your entry may be a non traditional container of any shape, size or dimension. Now is the time to try one of those great ideas you have been planning, but never got around to completing! You may enter in any of three categories: residential, non residential (business, church, etc.) or youth (age 15 and under). Contest judging will take place mid July, just before the CIB judges arrive to adjudicate our community.

Get your imagination and creativity flowing now!! Further details will be announced in the next few weeks.
 
Flowering Fruitvale
 
The Flowering Fruitvale flower basket campaign which helps with the costs incurred for the purchase, installation and maintenance of the downtown hanging flower baskets is underway again this year. Your donations help sponsor a beautiful flower-filled basket, supplied by Allan Rothwell of Nipkow’s Greenhouse.

Donations of $25 and $50 may be made in recognition of a special person, or an event such as a birth, anniversary, or birthday and will be acknowledged on the Village website and on the board at the Village Office. We will also send a card to the person of your choice to advise that a donation has been made in their honour. Donations of any value are greatly welcomed and appreciated however only those donations of $25 or more will be recognized on the board. All donations are tax deductible.

The Village of Fruitvale hangs approximately 50 baskets each summer. If you are interested in sponsoring a basket, please visit the Village Office to make your donation and take pride in “FLOWERING FRUITVALE”.

We want to thank everyone who donated to “Flowering Fruitvale” campaign in 2007. Your support of our community is greatly appreciated.
