Lincoln, ON – (August 13, 2024) – The Town of Lincoln, in collaboration with The Lincoln Garden Club & Horticultural Society, proudly recognizes the efforts of residents who have contributed to making Lincoln a more vibrant, beautiful, and welcoming community through the 2024 Lincoln in Bloom Garden Recognition Program.

Congratulations to all the recognized properties for their exemplary contributions to our community.”
