Our own Ralph Burrill has been named an Outstanding Gardener (replaces the previous designation of Gardener of the Year) for 2008 by our district 7, as part of a new NSAGC recognition incentive! Congratulations to Ralph from all your friends. We're very proud of your accomplishments.

Congratulations to the Pubnico Garden Club for winning the recent display garden challenge at Blooms by the Sea. All four entries were spectacular! We're now looking forward to Blooms by the Sea 2010, and anticipate many wonderful things from this show in the coming years. Thanks to our own YGC committee that worked so hard to set up the display garden for the challenge, and to our sponsor Kent Building Supplies for their support.

Congratulations to Alvina Robicheau for being awarded the Mayflower Award of Distinction for the municipality, at this year's Yarmouth Mayflower Awards. This is the first year that Distinction awards have been conferred so it's a very special achievement for Alvina.  Several other YGC members received annual Mayflower Awards for their properties.  We're proud that our club is able to contribute its share of effort toward the overall attractiveness of the town and county.  Thanks to the Town and Municipality for a lovely evening of presentations, door prizes and excellent edibles!
