Nice job, Warrenville

Posted July 30, 2015 12:00 am

Our thanks and admiration goes to the City of Warrenville for participating for the fourth time in the America in Bloom awards program.

Special thanks go to Mayor David Brummel, Dorothy Deer, chairwoman of Warrenville in Bloom and all of their members, city staff, participants, sponsors and volunteers for organizing two days of remarkable tours and meetings July 20 and 21.

We have enjoyed meeting and spending time with many of you as you showcase all the reasons Warrenville has to be proud.

America in Bloom envisions communities as welcoming and vibrant places to live, work, and play - benefiting from colorful plants and trees; enjoying clean environments; celebrating heritage; and planting pride through volunteerism.

America in Bloom is more than flowers. Your judges will evaluate your efforts in the six pillars that make cities great - floral display, landscaping, urban forestry, heritage preservation, environmental initiatives, and overall impression with community involvement in the residential, commercial and municipal sectors.

We will provide the committee a written evaluation on Sept. 27. We welcome everyone to attend our symposium, held in Holland, Michigan Sept. 24-26, where we will announce this year's winners in eight population categories.
