Woodstock's 'Communities in Bloom' Program

Woodstock has been very successfully involved in the International "Communities in Bloom" program (click on link to read more).

Two of my favourite clients have again been recognized and are now awaiting the results of this year's judgeing. I thought you'd enjoy seeing photos of Julie and Barry Maltby's front yard on Lee Avenue in the North end of Woodstock. Barry is the gardener and Julie is his biggest fan!

Flying Over Oxford County






Today I am as enthusiastic about Oxford County as I have ever been! Early this morning I was treated to a balloon ride from Sally Creek, over Innerkip to the north/west corner of the County. We flew over Sally Creek, Innerkip and Vink's new golf course. We flew over the new soccer fields, the Claysam development, the Lakeview Development and Pittock Dam. We have beautiful homes, well-kept farms and a wide variety of crops.
