- An appealing front yard that catches your eye, inspires smiles and invites visitors to enjoy its beauty!
- May include a variety of plants, colours, textures, heights, decorations and unique features
- Yards should contain at least 25% non-turf plants over the area - pots, containers, flowering trees, shrubs, mosses, and grasses are all included in this category
- Yards in the general category are judged by volunteer judges trained by the Edmonton Horticultural Society






A beloved tradition for gardeners, yard enthusiasts and community members, the Front Yards in Bloom program helps strengthen Edmonton’s community spirit and beautify our city.
A Front Yard in Bloom is a yard that showcases the best of nature, along with some human ingenuity! There have been so many beautiful gardens submitted over the years in each category, and the efforts of the gardeners are impressive.
