With a proven track record for transforming the lives of young people, Toronto Kiwanis Boys & Girls Clubs will use the Live Green donation to provide some much-needed TLC to their facility, supporting the creation of a beautiful green space that is in- viting, yet protects chil- dren at the Club. Gardening guru, Frankie Flowers said, "We received entries from so many worthy causes; it was very hard to choose just one. The submis- sion from the Toronto Kiwanis Boys & Girls Clubs stood out for all of us on the decision-making panel. Not only will this dona- tion provide valuable environ- mental and landscape benefi ts for their facility, but the educational impact that it will have on their young people, now and in the fu- ture, is extremely important." Live Green, Sheridan Nurser- ies' new environmental campaign will donate 1,000 plants over the next six months to communities across the GTA that have a severe lack of green space or plant ma- terial. "We are thrilled to be the fi rst recipient of the Sheridan Nurser- ies Live Green donation," said Ian Edward, executive director, To- ronto Kiwanis Boys & Girls Clubs. "This gift will encourage our kids to connect with nature where they will learn about patience, respon- sibility, and teamwork through sustaining our lovely garden." Running until October 31, Sheridan Nurseries will an- nounce Live Green plant do- nations monthly. Members of the pub- lic can submit a dona- tion request for their lo- cal area online at www. sheridannurseries.com/ live_green and it will then be reviewed by Frankie Flowers and a Sheridan Nurseries' panel. Karl Stensson, President at Sheridan Nurseries added, "We are delighted to be able to make a donation that will have such a benefi cial impact and, to echo the words of the Toronto Kiwanis Boys & Girls Clubs, help make it 'look like the home of the best Boys & Girls Club in the country'. If you haven't already submitted a recommendation for your local area, I would encourage you to do so!" Sheridan Nurseries is currently celebrating its 100th anniversary in business in Canada.
