Come Alive Outside Canada is excited to bring you the HPE Summer Passport!
The passport is available for families residing in the Hastings-Prince Edward region and provides a booklet of local activities for children to enjoy.
The purpose of this design was to create a space that deeply reflects fundamental elements of First Nations heritage, while serving as a dynamic learning resource for college students, faculty, and local community members.
With Chef Doug
Eastern Ontario, especially Prince Edward County, has some of the best Pickerel fishing in the province, if not the country. Pickerel is one of my favourite fish. It is a lovely light fish that is very delicate. It will easily take on the flavours it is cooked with and be somewhat bland if not cooked properly. This recipe allows the fish to marinate wonderfully with the ingredients it is being steamed with on the grill.
Wentworth Landscapes is excited to announce the launch of the Hope is Growing program brought to you by CiB-Cef! Plant yellow this Spring as a way to spread hope during these difficult times.

The start of a new year is always a good time to look back on your goals and accomplishments, while planning the new challenges you’d like to overcome for the future. This year, consider kicking your old environmental ideologies to the curb and start incorporating small eco-friendly goals that are easily obtainable for your lifestyle. This may seem difficult for a family that is always on the move but if you begin with minor changes, such as using reusable grocery bags, composting, and packing lunches instead of eating out, your small changes will become a regular part of your daily life. Check out these 21 tips/reminders for making your environmental footprint smaller for 2021!
Looking back, the team at Wentworth Landscapes has a lot to be proud of in 2020! Not only did we have an exceptional number of sales during one of the most challenging years yet, we also expanded the company and started a new department for interior and exterior renovations that has broadened our value within the field of construction. We also re-introduced Garden Studios and are working hard to implement these structures within the landscapes of current and future clients, while simultaneously growing our Aquatics Department to meet the standard we have been working towards for the previous few years. The result of everyone’s hard work throughout 2020 is prevalent when looking towards our 2021 construction/build schedule because for the first time in Wentworth history we have fully booked the pool division for 2021! This, along with the tremendous work from Landscape Maintenance, our Residential and Commercial designs/builds, and the work with Come Alive Outside has made the 30th anniversary of Wentworth Landscapes one to remember.
Check out this Guest House renovation that is currently in progress! Stay tuned for updates of the final project!

What is your favourite childood memory? Was it sitting in your rec room watching tv all day or was it going to the park to catch frogs in the stream? Maybe it's climbing your favourite tree in your yard and seeing how much highter you can get each time? What about going outside after it rains to make mud pies and try to tell your parents it's chocolate? Whatever it may be we bet your favourite childhood memories took place outside. And that's the fuel that drives the Come Alive Outside.
