Edmontonians can nominate their neighbours, family and friend’s yards in six categories: general yards, edible yards, natural yards, tiny yards, balconies in bloom and the public space category. At the end of the summer, the top three gardeners from each category will be awarded at the annual Edmonton in Bloom Awards ceremony.
This year marks the 25th year of Front Yards in Bloom, a cherished tradition for gardeners, yard enthusiasts and community members. The program is a collaborative effort by the City of Edmonton and our partners to help cultivate Edmonton’s community spirit and enhance the city’s beauty.
Since 1999, Front Yards in Bloom has played an important role in bringing communities together and we encourage Edmontonians to get outside this year, onto their balconies and into their communities to participate by submitting nominations and voting for finalists.
A Front Yard in Bloom is a yard that showcases the best of nature, along with some human ingenuity! There have been so many beautiful gardens submitted over the years in each category, and the efforts of the gardeners are impressive.
