Heritage Gardeners Background

The North Bay Heritage Gardeners' Story
"Growing a Better Community"

1992 -- This was a landmark year for the community of North Bay as it marked the opening of the long-awaited Waterfront development known to most as The Golden Mile.

The development was a dream come true for our community! Over 50 islands of shrubs, trees, perennials and grasses enhanced Lake Nipissing 's shoreline. The transformation was remarkable and the Waterfront became one of the most beautiful and well-used locations in the City.

Unfortunately, as the years passed and due to the scarcity of maintenance dollars and funding opportunities, these islands of plant material became infested with weeds and overgrown from lack of care.
