Horticulture Operations and Community Programs
Horticulture and Community Programs : Cultivating Beauty, Growing Connections At Horticulture Operations and Community Programs, our team of 36 staff work tirelessly year-round to ensure Vaughan remains vibrant and beautiful. While the spring and summer months are our busiest — when we care for up to 750 hanging baskets and 800 shrub beds — our team remains dedicated throughout the year. During the winter, we stay focused on maintaining facilities and preparing for the upcoming seasons to ensure everything is ready to bloom. Each flower, shrub and green space we care for represents a shared commitment to creating connections and building bridges between people, nature and the spaces we all enjoy. Assets: 411 flower beds
Special Projects : Beautifying our City through Tourism Vaughan This year, Horticulture Operations, in collaboration with Tourism Vaughan, embarked on an ambitious initiative to enhance the beauty of our city. As part of this effort, our dedicated team took on the challenge of transforming green spaces in each ward, carefully selecting a vibrant mixture of color and texture to breathe new life into these areas. Our team’s creativity and hard work have led to the transformation of five high-traffic locations, creating welcoming and visually appealing spaces for residents and visitors. These enhancements not only elevate the aesthetic appeal of Vaughan, but also underscore our commitment to fostering pride in our city’s public spaces. Through careful planning, attention to detail and collaboration across departments, these beautification projects stand as a testament to the tremendous effort put in by our staff to make Vaughan a more vibrant and inviting place for everyone.
