America in Bloom recently announced the winners for its 2013 national awards program. The program is designed to honors effort for livability in communities of all types. Participants are evaluated on their efforts in horticulture, heritage, and environment across residential, commercial, and municipal sectors. Community involvement is also considered.
Based on successful models in Europe and Canada, America in Bloom is now in its twelfth year. It is believed to be the only program of its kind that sends a team of two specially trained judges who spend time in participating locations providing on-site coaching and mentoring, followed by a written evaluation which is sent after the awards program in September.
The Town of Holliston, MA, has been awarded the first place award for the 12,001-18,000 population category. In addition, the Town also received a special award for the Best Volunteer Recognition Program.
