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 />

15th from 11am – 1pm. Music will be provided by the<br />
Holland Landing Fiddlers and light refreshments will<br />
be served.<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 />
