This means that the 2019 first place winners can still be nominated, however, they will not be considered for the Top Three Gardens in their ward in 2020.
Entries should not include holiday decorations and must include horticultural features visible on the front garden.
For your safety – COVID-19
While you are preparing your gardens, please continue to follow safety guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Judging - Tuesday, August 4 - Friday, August 21
Every nominated residential front garden will be acknowledged with a recognition sign for their garden as part of the Richmond Hill Blooms program two-step judging process. Following this recognition, a short list of best gardens will be identified by Richmond Hill staff horticulturalists. The Richmond Hill Garden and Horticultural Society will then select the top three gardens per ward based on the Ontario Horticultural Association's Garden and Special Planting Criteria.
