Trillium Awards

Gardeners who make our neighbourhoods look beautiful deserve to be recognized. That’s why the Grimsby Garden Club with the Town of Grimsby recognizes and celebrates Grimsby’s outstanding gardens each year.

Weekly Winners

Week 1: June 2nd

Our congratulations to this week’s winner - Rose Fuller at 35 Orchard Parkway.

This garden is close the Escarpment facing west on Orchard Parkway. Anchoring the sunny front lawn is a brilliant yellow Sunburst Locust. The bright yellow theme is contrasted with deep burgundy throughout the garden. The raised rock-enclosed perennial and flower garden features yellows and reds, with snow on the mountain with its white blooms.

The raised front of the house has an extended porch which welcomes visitors with a generous seating area and a canvas-covered roof.

A notable and creative focal point is the ‘face statue’ set in a weeping spruce so it looks like hair around the face. Beside that is a beautiful ceramic urn water feature with birds regularly visiting.

There are many more features in the garden - planter pots, beautiful Japanese Maples, and a lovely birch tree near the street.
