Richmond Hill Blooms

Richmond Hill Blooms is a program designed to encourage residents to play a role in beautifying our community by creating attractive, colourful and well-maintained front gardens and recognizing them.

The Richmond Hill Blooms programs has now ended for 2022. Check back in the new year for 2023 program updates.

How to nominate a garden for recognition

The 2022 nomination deadline has passed. Thanks to everyone that nominated a front garden for recognition!

Judging

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, the best gardens will be shortlisted. The Richmond Hill Garden and Horticultural Society (RHGHS) will then select the top three gardens per ward based on the Ontario Horticultural Association's Garden and Special Planting Criteria.

The top three front gardens in each ward will receive a winner's sign for their garden, a plaque and recognition on this webpage. Winners are announced in the fall.

To ensure fairness and provide equal opportunity for all residents, 2021 first place winners in each ward will be ineligible from winning first, second or third place for a period of one year. They can still be nominated, however, they will not be considered for the top three gardens in their ward in 2022.
