Communities In
Bloom is a Canadian beautification program that provides
information and education, and awards Bloom Ratings for
achievement in floral displays, landscapes, turf, urban
forestry, community involvement, heritage conservation,
environmental awareness and tidiness.
This volunteer-based,
non-profit organization is committed to fostering civic
pride, environmental responsibility and beautification
through community participation and the challenge of
friendly competition.
Every year, municipalities
with similar populations enter this friendly competition
and are evaluated on the efforts and achievements of their
business community, local organizations, residents and
government.
