Communities in Bloom Programs and Projects

The Lambton Shores Committee has plenty of programs and projects on the go!  Check them out below:

Flower Colours

Shade of Purple - 2023 Colour ThemeCommunities in Bloom Canada, at the request of several communities involved in the program, has decided to continue with a colour theme for 2023. This year's colour selection is PURPLE and Lambton Shores Communities in Bloom will follow suit. We look forward to seeing all the beautiful shades of purple throughout the municipality this year!

Purple has a variety of effects on the mind and body, including uplifting spirits, calming the mind, enhanced feelings of spirituality and encouraging imagination and creativity.

The municipal hanging baskets will feature:

  • Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo
  • Supertunia Purple Velvet
  • Supertunia Blue Veined

Some municipal gardens and planters will feature the above flowers, along with purple lantana and a splash of lime green with sweet potato vines.

Trash Bash

Each year on or around Earth Day, Lambton Shores Communities in Bloom hosts their annual trash bash - an initiative to clean up our neighbourhoods after winter. Everyone is encouraged to keep the initiative going throughout the year! If you see trash on the ground while you are out in your neighbourhood, pick it up and throw it in your trash receptacle. 

Adopt-A-Pot or Plot

Adopters are responsible for watering, fertilizing, dead heading and weeding. Committee members are happy to provide advice where needed!

Interested in becoming an adopter? Email events@lambtonshores.ca for more information.

This year's planters will contain Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo, Supertunia Purple Velvet, Supertunia Blue Veined and Sweet Potato Vine in lime green

Look for them throughout our beautiful communities!
