Green Thumb Awards
The Green Thumb Awards recognize individuals, neighbourhoods and businesses that beautify our community through their gardening and stewardship efforts. The Awards also raise awareness of the important role landscaping plays in our community and encourage others to participate.
The Green Thumb Garden Contest is a Communities In Bloom initiative designed to encourage residents to beautify private properties. Properties are nominated by the public and judged by a team of master gardeners.
