Front Yards in Bloom
Front Yards in Bloom is finished for another year. Thank you for making 2009 a great success. Here’s what we accomplished:
· Over 20 community groups doing local programs
· Over 50 volunteers
· New category for Edible Front Yards
· Excellent photography of so many yards
· Support from Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues, Edmonton Naturalization Group, and Just Food Edmonton.
· Excellent partners in the Edmonton Horticultural Society, Canada Post, and the City of Edmonton
And for the first time ever, we received over one thousand nominations – 1016! Come celebrate at the Edmonton in Bloom Awards. Here’s the program for the event. It should be fun.
