Tantramar council has approved hiring Yard Guyz for the job of supplying and planting flowers in 2025 and 2026, but Active Living director Matt Pryde told council there will be some changes come spring.
Pryde said he was working with the Sackville Community Garden on a plan for new pollinator beds on Bridge Street in Sackville, and more control for the town over things like flower variety.
“Staff wanted to make a few changes to the contract,” said Pryde, “including the removal the flower beds on Bridge Street in favour of perennial pollinators.” Pryde said the municipality also changed its evaluation procedure to be based on more than simply price. “We want to include things like the bed layouts and the variety of flowers and whatnot in the contract,” said Pryde.
