KYC's Debbie Loder Wins Kingston Blooms
As many of you will have noticed, KYC is lucky to have a beautiful garden between Saint's Rest and the Parking lot and it is all the work of Debbie Loder. This month all her hard work was recognized by the Kingston Blooms competition, where her garden won first place in the Large Garden category.
Debbie wants to extend a warm thank you to all of the people who voted for her garden. These votes placed her in the top three gardens of her category, which were then judged by the Kingston Blooms judges. Debbie was given a beautiful maple leaf plaque to be placed in her garden. Congratulations Debbie!
