The televised presentation occurred during the Quinte West city council meeting. Mayor John Williams commented on the appropriateness of the award going to the Tolj’s, remarking that they had done an outstanding job in improving the city’s appearance. The award was created to recognize the efforts of commercial businesses that demonstrate pride and respect for their communities by beautifying their premises. In each instance, professional members of LO are involved in the completion of the landscaping project. The award is unique in that it represents the only collaboration of its kind between two of the province’s best known horticultural organizations, the Ontario Horticultural Association and Landscape Ontario.
