Rotary Tribute Gardens
Following the successful, Rotary-sponsored campaign held on Fathers Day to raise awareness and funds for ALS patient services and research, Julie Spooner, one of the ALS campaign volunteers, came up with the idea of establishing gardens in Comox and Courtenay, planted with flowers representing the many societies that raise funds and provide services to patients afflicted with a number of diseases. Each bed will be planted with: red and white carnations representing the Multiple Sclerosis Society; white chrysanthemums representing the Diabetes Society; blue forget-me-nots representing the Alzheimer Society; yellow daffodils representing the Canadian Cancer Society; blue iris representing the Schizophrenia Society, mixed tulips for the Parkinsons Society and blue cornflowers representing the ALS Society.
