Burlington Blooms
Awards Program
sponsored by Gardener's Supply |
From 2003-05, Friends of Burlington Gardens served as a
judge for the Burlington Blooms Awards entries in the Best Community,
Neighborhood, or Youth Garden category. Nominees were judged on the
overall appearance and maintenance of their garden site, involvement of
community gardeners in the garden, and the creativity of
gardens at the site. Congratulations to the winners and honorable
mentions, which are listed below. The awards program took a break in
2006, but may resume at a future time.
