Additional Information
Front Yards in Bloom began in 1999 as part of Edmonton's involvement in Communities in Bloom.
Partners:
Just Food Edmonton will select an “Edible Front Yard” to show how edible landscapes contribute to local food security and local beauty.
Several community leagues will also run a local Front Yards in Bloom program. Community leagues will announce their top local yards in the fall.
Top yards that are chosen by community leagues stand a greater chance of becoming a finalist in next year’s city-wide Front Yards in Bloom.
