Put your garden and or attraction on the map.

INSIPRE visitors.

JOIN a national celebration.

Communities in Bloom is offering a category for 2026 designed specifically for public gardens, botanical gardens, arboretums, specialty gardens, historic gardens, and destination landscapes, attractions, and museums in Canada and around the world!

Participants may choose between two ways to take part in the Gardens & Attractions in Bloom Showcase:

Evaluated Participation — welcome Communities in Bloom judges for a site visit and receive a Bloom rating along with professional feedback celebrating your strengths and offering constructive recommendations.

Non-Evaluated Participation — enjoy a promotional and marketing-focused experience that connects you to visitors through CiB’s national platforms without a formal evaluation.

By registering, your garden and/or attraction will be:

• Featured on our national “In Bloom” Map, a growing, shareable directory that encourages people to visit and experience exceptional gardens and attractions across Canada and beyond.
• Promoted year-round through CiB’s national communications, symposium features, and social media channels.
• Recognized within an international movement that celebrates green spaces, education, cultural heritage, sustainability, and community pride.
• Connected to visitors and garden enthusiasts who plan trips and tours using the In Bloom Showcase map.
• Given the opportunity to apply for special awards
• Permitted to use the CiB logo on your website and on your promotional materials

Whether your garden or attraction is large or small, historic or contemporary, ornamental or edible — if it inspires beauty, stewardship, and learning, it belongs in this category.

SHOWCASE your work. ATTRACT new visitors.

Register for the 2026 Gardens & Attractions in Bloom Showcase and let the world discover you!
