Members' Events 2024
One of Garden Aurora's new initiatives, Gardens of Distinction, was developed to recognize gardeners in town who have established an attractive, creative, and inspiring front garden, making Aurora a more beautiful place in which to live, work and play.
Volunteers from Garden Aurora seek out eye-catching front gardens which have added enormous value not just to a specific house, but to the neighbourhood as a whole.
The following are some of the features especially noted by our teams:
- use of native plants, for birds and pollinators
- minimal lawn, and use of alternate groundcovers
- tidy and well maintained
- rocks, statuary, sculptures, art, etc.
- water features
- planted boulevard
- good use of colours and textures
- creativity in general
Overall, we are looking for gardens that are pleasing to the eye, and that make you stop and think “wow”! Gardens chosen will be given a lawn sign to display, as well as a letter of recognition and winners certificate.
We have received many positive comments from delighted recipients in previous years, who were very pleased to be recognized for their contribution to our beautiful town. After all, for people walking or driving, the front garden is the one that is the most visible!
