High Skills Horticulture Department, and the Town of Lincoln to bring beautiful Wine Barrel painted

planters to the streets of the Downtown, filled with stunning plants and flowers.

With the Town of Lincoln being home to over 50 wineries and rich soil for farming and greenhouses the

Board of the Downtown Beamsville BIA was looking for a way to not only bring more colour into the

Downtown, but also to engage the community. Bringing the wonderful wineries and breweries

surrounding Downtown Beamsville into the project was a priority as well as a way for Downtown

Beamsville to be more engaged with the wineries and breweries that surround us and are vital to our

community. Always looking for an opportunity to engage the youth in the Downtown as well as

leverage the skill set that the youth have it was important for the Downtown Beamsville BIA to

showcase all of that through a Community Arts Project, and wonderful partnerships. Full details on

FOR IMMEDIATE

RELEASE

JUNE 11, 2018

Here’s what people are saying about our project:

“On behalf of the Canadian Garden Council’s Garden Days program, are pleased to inform you that the

Barrels Bloom - Downtown Beamsville Community Arts Project was unanimously selected to be the

Garden Days Provincial Flagship Event for Ontario. A flagship event is one that best exemplifies Garden

Days, engages a broad diversity of community partners and promotes gardening and the celebration of

our gardening culture! This is a watershed moment in the history of Garden Days - we have never had so

many different groups engaged in a Garden Days activity! As Carol mentioned we reached out to new

groups this year and you have engaged almost all of them in one ‘barrels of fun’ Barrel’s Bloom event!

Having “roots” in the wine business and one of the early adopters of the SHSM program when I was on

the team helping to develop the curriculum years ago….I am exceptionally thrilled to see the

collaboration you have created! BRAVO!” ~ Liz Klose Garden Days Committee Chair.
