Nominations Open for the 2019
Summer Trillium Recognition Program
NIAGARA FALLS, ON - Nomination forms are now available online for the Niagara Falls Summer Trillium Recognition program at www.niagarafalls.ca/trillium. This well-established program encourages residents to beautify their curbside landscaping and to foster city-wide beautification by enhancing properties through decorative hardscapes and plant material. The deadline to make a nomination is July 1, 2019.
Each property that enters the program will be assessed by the Trillium Sub-Committee on Thursday, July 25th. The assessment will consist of a quick overview of 6 essential elements that make up a great landscape:
- Principles of design
- Turf
- Plants
- Hardscapes
- Environmental features
- Unique features
New for 2019, the Trillium Sub-Committee is encouraging residents to incorporate pollinators to their curbside landscaping, adding to the environmental component of the program.
The assessment is conducted by professional landscapers and experienced horticulturalists. The program also offers gardening learning tools and essentials to help beginners get started through an online Q&A feature, where residents can ask professionals precise gardening questions.
