The 2022 Garden of the Week Contest is now closed. Thank you to all the judges from the @notlhortsociety that volunteered to support the @cibcef Garden of the Week contest. A final congratulations to all the winners and the beautiful gardens that were nominated!
2022 is the Year of the Garden and in celebration, the popular Garden of the Week contest, organized by the Niagara-on-the-Lake Horticultural Society and Communities in Bloom (CIB), invites you to once again nominate a Niagara-on-the-Lake resident who has an outstanding front yard garden. The contest will run for 9 weeks, with gardens to be reviewed from July 6 to August 31.

The weekly deadline is Monday evening, with the nominations gathered on Wednesday for the Horticultural Society to review. Judging criteria are based on streetscape and curb appeal, personal expression and creativity, colour and texture, and maintenance and neatness.
The prizes awarded to the winners each week include a bottle of wine from Konzelmann Estate Winery, a gift card to Sunset Grill and Scotts Miracle Gro products. The winner’s gardens will be featured on the Town’s social media channels and in the "News Feed" at the bottom of the page.
