Six front gardens in the Leaside community have been recognized by the Leaside Garden Society as Gardens of Distinction.
This year’s awards go to front gardens located at: 1 Kenrae Rd., 35 Heather Rd., 34 Parkhurst Blvd., 4 Divadale Dr., 36 Donlea Dr., and 142 Glenvale Blvd.
Signs of recognition are posted in each of these locations to recognize residents who have created beautiful and creative landscapes. The Leaside Garden Society encourages the public to admire the gardens while also respecting the owner’s private property.
This year’s gardens were selected by a volunteer committee from the Leaside Garden Society, led by Barry Schneider.
The Gardens of Distinction awards originated from an annual Mayor’s Blooming Contest held 15 years ago in partnership with the East York Garden Society to encourage the beatification of our community streets.
