Last week, a team of PSWs at Dufferin Oaks embodied the County values of Collaboration and Compassion when they volunteered to redo the Oaks courtyard gardens on their own time. Staff worked together to develop the plan for the gardens and organized the purchasing of plants. The Grand Garden Centre, located just outside of Shelburne, supported the Oaks with plant selection and donated two hanging baskets for the balconies. The County is so grateful to have such dedicated and caring staff members. A special THANK YOU to the team for beautifying the gardens for staff, residents and visitors to enjoy!
