Best Garden Selection Awards

The MD is again participating in the Communities in Bloom – Best Garden Selection Program! 

This is a fun, casual way to recognise the care and attention MD residents put into having beautiful yards and gardens in harmony with our surroundings and wildlife.  The program provides signs to post in the winning yards for the season. All MD residents are eligible to participate.

The Criteria

This program is run informally and loosely judged by these evaluation criteria:

• Environmental Action
• Floral Displays
• Heritage Conservation
• Landscape
• Native Plant Use
• Tidiness
• Urban Forestry
• Water Conservation

More on the evaluation categories 

The Process


Residents nominate themselves or their neighbours for recognition between June 1-15 using our online nomination form and attaching up to 6 photos.  

All residents are invited to vote online for “Residents Choice Awards” between June 22 and July 15. 

The top nominations from each area will then be awarded signs to post this year. 

Best Garden

The Winners


Winning gardeners must provide a photo with the sign in their garden before August 15 for use by Scotts and the MD.  Award signs are to be returned to the MD in the fall for reuse next year.
