Community Betterment
Contact Us
We're proud to work with community groups and organizations on initiatives that prioritize beautification and environmental sustainability in our Town.
Communities in Bloom
Our Communities in Bloom Committee organizes the Communities in Bloom Judges' Tour, a national program involving hundreds of municipalities showcasing their community's natural beauty. Judging criteria includes:
- Community Appearance
- Environmental Action
- Heritage Conservation
- Tree Management
- Landscape
- Plant and Floral Displays
2022 Work Plan
This year, the CIB committee will create the CiB Judges' Tour itinerary and Community Profile Book. They are also planning to host nature walks, nature workshops, a community-wide garage sale, community clean-up, and so much more. If you have pictures you'd be willing to let us use for our Community Profile Book, please submit them through our Communities in Bloom Photo Form (along with your name for photo credit).

Kingsville Horticultural Society
Many of Kingsville's gardens are planted and maintained with the Kingsville Horticultural Society. When you see gardeners tending to flower beds at Town Hall, Lakeside Park, and other public properties across Town, chances are, it's one of these committed Hort Society volunteers. We appreciate everything they do to keep our Town bright and beautiful!
COVID Memorial Gardens
In 2021, Communities in Bloom and the Kingsville Horticultural Society worked together to create COVID memorial gardens, which symbolize unity and support for neighbours and friends affected by COVID.
The gardens are at Rotary Park in Cottam, on Union Road in Ruthven, and next to Kingsville's Municipal Office on Division Road North.
