POTTER SETTLEMENT ARTISAN WINERY
Congratulations to the team at Potter Settlement Artisan Wines for being THE ONLY
CANADIAN WINERY to bring home a SILVER MEDAL back to Canada from the PARIS CUP
INTERNATIONAL WINE COMPETITION for our CABERNET FRANC!!!
Their MARQUETTE wine amazingly placed and brought them home a BRONZE. They
used a new grape that had not been submitted to the Paris Cup before! This now makes
NINETEEN international medals for this wine in total!!!
Sending wine to France is like sending ‘sand to the beach’ - the toughest of competition -
so "I’m very proud and grateful for the hard work of our team for putting Canada on the
list up there with the other winning international entries carefully selected from
hundreds of competitors - and thousands of wine entries - from several countries all
over the world!" Sandor Johnston
APRIL FLOWERS - MADOC GARDEN CENTRE, Written by: Tina Booth
After a long winter and our recent reminder that winter can still sneak a snowfall in, it is
nice to know that warmer weather and our growing season is right around the corner.
What better place to visit for all your landscaping, nursery and gardening needs then the
conveniently located Madoc Garden Center. Located at 13 Concession Rd. it can be easily
seen on Highway 7. Open from April to October, 7 days a week from 9-5pm.
The Madoc Garden Center is very welcoming and wheel-chair accessible. With its friendly
staff and abundance of gardening supplies, selection of trees, shrubs, flower and plants,
you are sure to find what your looking for. Seed potatoes, asparagus, herbs such as mint
and chives have arrived for the vegetable gardener. Small shrubs such as spirea, clematis,
lavender and boxwoods have also recently arrived with more to come soon.
Why not plant a tree to do your part for the environment or get your fingers dirty with a
little gardening? Hurry down so you will not be disappointed for the nice weather as it is
quickly approaching, this optimistic writer is hopeful and thinking of April Flowers!

changes with one of them being the new Virtual Walk-In Clinic.
What’s next for Nickle’s Pharmacy, building an online presence that
