HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Despite the long winter season, the Holland area once again emerged from the cold weather months with beautiful gardens.
To celebrate those residents’ hard work, Holland in Bloom, Carolyn Stich Studio, Jonker’s Garden, JW Greenhouses, Chemical Bank, and Windmill Island Gardens are sponsoring the 4th Annual Blizzards to Blooms – – Bring Forth Your Blooms. This contest aims to recognize exceptional spring/summer gardens at homes, offices or businesses in conjunction with the 2017 Communities in Bloom competition.
The contest is split up into two divisions: a home garden contest and a business contest. The home garden contest is open to any residential property within the City of Holland that is planted by an amateur gardener. Any business located in the City limits with an in-house maintained garden is encouraged to enter the business competition.
Forms will be available at Holland City Hall, the Holland Parks and Cemeteries Department at 429 East 24th Street, the Holland Convention and Visitors Bureau at 78 East 8th Street, and online at www.hollandinbloom.com. Submittals can also be made via email and may include up to five garden photos and an official entry form. Contest entries will be accepted between June 10 and July 10, 2017. The
Home Garden Contest Grand Prize is an original Carolyn Stich drawing of the winner’s home or garden. The Grand Prize winner, along with 1st place and two Special Mention winners, will receive gift certificates from either Jonkers Gardens or JW Greenhouse, and will be honored at a dinner on July 24.
