Nominated yards have received lawn signs and postcards through our partnership with the Edmonton Horticultural Society.
The top 20 most nominated yards will now participate in our Blackburne Creek in Bloom contest with first, second and third place winners receiving prizes and recognition signs placed in your yard.
We have received names from some volunteers to judge but could use more. Judges receive an evaluation guide, a judging form and a Blackburne Creek map with yards marked to make it easy. Deadline to judge and return forms is August 10.
If you can help with judging, please contact Janet Ekert at janetekert@gmail.com
Thanks to everyone for working so hard to help Blackburne to look amazing and to our many volunteers for making this program possible.
