The city of Courtenay is looking for people to plant flowers for an upcoming event.
Called Mile of Flowers, it’s a yearly event where residents plant summer flowers in garden beds on both sides of Cliffe Avenue from 8th to 21st Streets. This year marks the events 58-year anniversary.
The city says they’re in need of volunteers this year, especially youth groups, with hopes of getting between 200 to 500 of them.
While no prior experience is needed to volunteer, make sure to bring garden gloves and either a trowel or spoon to dig up the beds.
Event will run on May 27 from 5 to 7 p.m.
