NORWAY — Green Gardens Florist and Gift Shop has been named August business of the month by the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce.
The Norway shop was nominated by chamber member Debbie Reed of Goodwill Workforce Services for its community involvement, job training and exceptional customer service, the chamber said in a news release. Green Gardens works with Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School and helps students gain work experience. The shop also trains and hires individuals with intellectual disabilities.
The chamber started the Business of the Month program to raise awareness and celebrate member achievements. Each month, the chamber will make a charitable donation on behalf of the Business of the Month to the Feeding Oxford Hills initiative or Rightstart’s Christmas for Kids and Teens programs. The August donation of $250 will be given to Rightstart for its Christmas programs.
Anyone in the community can nominate a business or organization through the chamber’s website, oxfordhillsmaine.com. More information on the program can also be found on the website.
