The North Bay Blooms judges have chosen the best residential front garden award to Joan Lane and Dennis Belanger of 668 Fisher Street.
The second place gardener was Rene McBride at 661 Tackaberry Drive and third place was Michelle Widdop at 547 Harvey Street. The North Bay Horticultural Society had to turn nearly 100 nominations into a top ten, and then the North Bay Master Gardeners selected the top three.
Lane says the weather this year made it tougher to maintain her garden, but she’s been taking care of it for a long time. Lane received a $200 gift certificate for the 1st place finish, and the 2nd and 3rd place finishers get $100 certificates from Burrows and L’Amis.
