Week’s Showcase

The vibrancy of these orange flowers in bloom is hard to miss. This is just one of many flower beds found around the property of Joe and Edith Stone, of Paris. This garden is predominantly orange in recognition of the County of Brant’s participation in the Communities in Bloom program this year! Do you have a Garden in Bloom? We’d love to showcase your property!

The County welcomes your photos on their Engage Brant website, and you could be featured in their Brant in Bloom Community Profile for the judges, but we want to showcase your works of art too! Gardeners, residents and anyone participating, send us your photos and we will feature them in upcoming editions of The Paris Independent! stories@theparisindependent.com
