Please be ready to provide the address(es) of the garden(s) you are nominating, along with your name, address, telephone number and email address. Entries should not include holiday decorations and must include horticultural features visible on the front garden.
NEW this year, each nomination must include a photograph of the garden you are nominating. Photos will be used for shortlisting purposes only and will not be shared publicly. See 'Photo submission criteria' below.
Nominate a Front Garden for Recognition
To ensure fairness and provide equal opportunity for all residents, first place winners in each ward will be ineligible from winning first, second or third place for a period of one year. This means that the 2021 first place winners can still be nominated, however, they will not be considered for the Top Three Gardens in their ward in 2022.
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.
We had a record turnout in 2021! Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to our winners! Please enjoy the beautiful winning front gardens in the gallery below.
