More in this Section...

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. 

2023 Updates: Richmond Hill Blooms is going back to its roots. Starting this year, the judging portion of the front garden recognition program will be dropped. Instead the program will focus on encouraging a higher level of participation across the City. All nominated gardens will continue to receive a lawn sign to display in their front yards.

In lieu of an annual end of season key note speaker event, the City will be hosting an end of year interactive workshop and social in late summer/early fall. Details will be shared closer to the date.

Front garden recognition program 

Nominate your own front garden or the front gardens of family, friends and neighbours in Richmond Hill! Nominated properties will receive a lawn sign to proudly place in their garden.

How to nominate a garden for recognition 

The 2023 nomination period runs from Friday, June 2 to Friday, July 7.

The online nomination form will be available here starting on June 2. Uploading a photo will no longer be required.
