Communities bloom with America In Bloom

Participation in the community programs by America in Bloom helps focus community residents on greening their habitat.

The community's list of benefits ranges from increased tourism to being more butterfly friendly, from greater community involvement and civic pride to more beautiful spaces and improved quality of life. And the program, which is mostly supported by donations and accomplished through volunteer efforts, is cost effective for the community, as well.

Cities of all sizes can join the campaign to beautify their communities. America in Bloom is dedicated to working together to plant pride in our communities.

Arroyo Grande is one California city that participates.

America in Bloom Judges evaluate communities on eight criteria:

Floral Displays
Environmental Awareness
Landscaped Areas
Tidiness
Urban Forestry
Heritage Preservation
Turf and Groundcovers
Community Involvement
