grouds Among those who came with us were hor ticultural members from oll ingwood Vespra ro Elmvale Midland Orillia Thornton and Painswick It was day to be remembered and relished each time one recalls the visit This writer has followed each show as it moved from Casa Loma to OKeefe to the Royal Ontario Museum back to OKeefe and now to much larger and more appropriate setting in the Automotive Bldg There was just far too much for the space allotted this writer to comment on Because of the added space the commer cail exhibits were much ex panded there was room to get around and view them and even sit now and then There were also many more of them and everyone was so good youd just hate to be thejudge Truthfully didnt get to see all the ex hibits because lingered too long at some that took my fan cy It would really take two days to seeitall On the main floor an En vironmental Kitchen spon sored by McDonalds was especially interesting It featured all kinds of growing herbs in planters
