Trail Community in Bloom volunteers gathered to plant canna on Sunday.
“Big thanks to Debbie Wallace and Lindy Turner for washing and sanitizing the containers, to Dan Rodlie for stuffing the pots full of soil, to Karen Moll, Susan Gaskell, Martin Hatfield and David Regnier for risking the surprise tides of muddy water and processing the cannas (cutting away the dead and dividing the rhizomes),” says Rachael Brown, contract gardener. “And to Gail Winters and Deb Johnson Hodgins for potting ‘em up!”
The Trail Community in Bloom (CiB) committee is the catalyst for making the City of Trail aesthetically pleasing for residents and visitors and keeping the city involved in the national Communities in Bloom program.
The committee is chaired by Dan Rodlie and the floral program is overseen by Rachael Brown.
As the committee points out; accolades go to the volunteers and citizens of the city.
“It is not what the CiB committee does that brings attention and awards, it is what the city, as a whole, does to show off its collective civic pride and community spirit.”
