The much awaited awarding of prizes for the winners of the The 2008 Great Gardens Awards took place last Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at the Old Mill Inn, Bloor street Toronto. It started around 7:30 pm with slide shows, enlightening speeches which warmed up into the awarding of the prizes to the owners of the winning gardens. It was Miguelita's big night, a reward for her several days of spring/summer gardening work.
She went alone to claim her trophy while I stayed behind to get the video clip of the event. A slide of her front yard was shown on the screen before a big audience of garden enthusiasts. The announcer described her garden's merits, why she won the first prize in the Environmental category. Part of the announcer's talk went something like this: "Miguelita says the shrubs in front of her yard becomes a haven for the birds. Her garden becomes a bistro for the different varieties which chat happily while eating their grains.."
Check the photos of the exhibits ..Thank you!!
