Please Note…it’s the plants only that are available. Leave the planters.

The planters around West Hants have brought so much beauty and joy. Community members and visitors have commented all season about how beautiful they are. Now, you can come and harvest the plants during daylight hours to replant in your gardens for next year.

Plants are being stored on the basketball court at the waterfront until Tuesday, Oct 13. Help yourself to the plants only.

Please leave the plants that are still out on streets and in parks.
