Mount Albert Garden and Horticultural Society is in a<br />

celebratory mood this month. Seven of our members<br />

have just received Volunteer Service Awards from the<br />

Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration.<br />

One of the members honoured this year has 25 years<br />

of service and another 20 years! Congratulations, and<br />

thank you for your contributions to the community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> philosopher Cicero once said “If you have a<br />

garden and a library you have everything,” and we<br />

invite you to join us as we celebrate the opening of the<br />

Literacy Garden at the Holland Landing branch of the<br />

East Gwillimbury Public Library on Saturday, <strong>May</strong><br />

15th from 11am – 1pm. Music will be provided by the<br />

Holland Landing Fiddlers and light refreshments will<br />

be served.<br />

It’s been a joy to work outside in the recent warm<br />

weather. <strong>May</strong> is a good time to divide perennials and<br />

our horticultural society members are busy potting up<br />

divisions from their plants for the Spring Plant and<br />

Bake Sale to be held on Saturday <strong>May</strong> 29th at Mount<br />

Albert Community Centre from 10am till noon. We’ll<br />

have plants for sun and shade from our members’<br />

gardens along with nursery-grown perennials and<br />

annuals at excellent prices - and delicious baked<br />

goods! Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer<br />
