With the Town of Lincoln being home to over 50 wineries and rich soil for farming and greenhouses the
Board of the Downtown Beamsville BIA was looking for a way to not only bring more colour into the
Downtown, but also to engage the community. Bringing the wonderful wineries and breweries
surrounding Downtown Beamsville into the project was a priority as well as a way for Downtown
Beamsville to be more engaged with the wineries and breweries that surround us and are vital to our
community. Always looking for an opportunity to engage the youth in the Downtown as well as
leverage the skill set that the youth have it was important for the Downtown Beamsville BIA to
showcase all of that through a Community Arts Project, and wonderful partnerships. Full details on

Here’s what people are saying about our project:
“On behalf of the Canadian Garden Council’s Garden Days program, are pleased to inform you that the
Barrels Bloom - Downtown Beamsville Community Arts Project was unanimously selected to be the
Garden Days Provincial Flagship Event for Ontario. A flagship event is one that best exemplifies Garden
Days, engages a broad diversity of community partners and promotes gardening and the celebration of
our gardening culture! This is a watershed moment in the history of Garden Days - we have never had so
many different groups engaged in a Garden Days activity! As Carol mentioned we reached out to new
groups this year and you have engaged almost all of them in one ‘barrels of fun’ Barrel’s Bloom event!

the team helping to develop the curriculum years ago….I am exceptionally thrilled to see the
collaboration you have created! BRAVO!” ~ Liz Klose Garden Days Committee Chair.
