    Wrapping up 2006!

    Spending a month in Italy for the 2006 Winter Olympics was a pretty amazing way to begin the year. My husband and I were part of the Hockey Canada parent and friends program and it was a wonderful life experience. When the Olympics were over we spend another week touring Tuscany and Umbria. As you can imagine, plants were the focus of many of my pictures.

    An Award of a Different Colour!
    For the last few years, Greenery has been a part of a safety program called Stars, through our industry organization, PLANET (formerly ALCA) In Columbus, Ohio, we were presented with 3 safety awards! Although we are very proud of our design, installation and maintenance awards that we have won over the last 6 years, employee safety is very important as well.

    Summer Leadership
    Being involved in our industry organization, PLANET, has many perks and traveling and seeing beautiful sites and meeting great people are at the top of the list. This past summer, Charleston, South Carolina was the location and it was quite amazing going back in time to a place where history has such a colourful past. I toured a plantation and viewed what they claim is " the first garden ever recorded".

    Calgary Horticultural Fair
    This year we had a booth at this annual fair and it was a very fun experience and as a result, we were featured in the Canadian Landscape Trade magazine.

    Holiday Season 2006
    It is always a busy time with our beautifully decorated Christmas trees and colourful poinsettias going out the door. Our annual holiday party will be held at the Calgary Winter Club once again. This year in lieu of a present exchange, Greenery employees will be purchasing gifts through World Vision for 3rd world countries. Planting tools and seeds are the gifts of choice.

    Looking Towards 2007!
    Preparations are under way for our 30th Year in Business! Watch for our vehicles with their new exciting look and our employees in newly designed shirts to celebrate this great achievement but expect the excellent service that Greenery has been providing for 30 years!
