Hamilton In Bloom - Traffic Island Beautification

The Hamilton in Bloom sponsorship program turns traffic islands into beautiful flower beds. The program offers a great opportunity to reach your target market in an innovative way.

Your sponsorship will be recognized in several ways, including the installation of a sign visible to motorists and pedestrians who travel by the flower beds every day. The response from residents and visitors to this innovative sponsorship program has been overwhelmingly positive.
