“BC
Communities in Bloom gives the "biggest bang for the
buck". Being a small town with limited resources makes it financially
impossible to hire consultants for advice, and from what I have seen,
the advice and support that we have been provided from you, far exceeds
what we could have received elsewhere" - Wendy Gilbertson,
Director of Parks & Cultural Services - Town of Gibsons. |

Communities that look successful are most likely to be successful.
Whether a community's specific goals are to increase tourism, generate
new economic development or simply to build civic pride, the appearance
presented to citizens and to others is a key factor in achieving those
goals.
British Columbia Communities in Bloom is a program that inspires communities
to enhance the visual appeal of neighborhoods and public spaces, through
the creative use of regionally appropriate plants and landscaping
with an overall respect to environmental stewardship and preservation
of heritage assets.
An integral component of this very popular program is the friendly competition
between communities, engaging citizens of all ages, service groups, businesses
and associations in a public-spirited effort to succeed and be recognized.
In British Columbia it has been the experience of many people, that
the Communities in Bloom program can be the impetus
to get their community Growing!
