RMH Auxiliary wins the 2018 Garden Cup

July 30, 2018 - Each year on Earth Day, the Ross Memorial Hospital’s Go Green Team encourages all departments in the hospital to “adopt” a garden. There are 19 gardens at RMH, varying in size.

The project is an effort to ensure the grounds remain beautiful yet cost-effective to maintain. It’s also a great way for staff to show some pride in their hospital.

Some employees bring perennials from home; others are purchase annuals for their department’s flower-bed. Before and after pictures are taken of each department’s garden, and they’re judged in mid-July.

Today, the Go Green Team announced the winners of this year’s contest:

Overall Favourite & Garden Cup winner:  RMH Auxiliary

Most Improved:  Human Resources & Environmental Services

Most Creative:  Laboratory

Most Sustainable:  Diagnostic Imaging

Most Dramatic:  Recreation Therapy

Honourable Mention/Best New Garden:  Engineering, Maintenance & Grounds
