Cliffe Avenue in Courtenay is being filled with colourful blooms today, marking 58 years of the Mile of Flowers.
The Plant-in starts at 5 p.m. and goes until around 7 p.m. Everyone is invited to fill the garden beds on both sides of Cliffe Ave, from 8th to 21st Streets, with summer flowers.
No experience is required – just pick an open spot and start planting.
The City is providing the flowers - you just need to bring along some gloves, and a trowel or spoon for digging.
The City says typically, between 200 and 500 volunteers are needed.
The Mile of Flowers dates back to 1967. Kathleen Kirk planted 7,800 seedlings as a welcome to tourists to mark Canada’s centennial year.
More information can be found at Mile of Flowers Plant-In.
