Strathcona in Bloom Residents of Strathcona County take pride in their gardens and it shows. The Strathcona in Bloom Society is a volunteer organization that works to promote the national Communities in Bloom program in Strathcona County with the assistance of Strathcona County. Communities in Bloom is a non-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification of green spaces in urban settings through community involvement. It provides information, education and awards bloom ratings for achievement in floral displays, landscapes, turf, urban forestry, community involvement, heritage conservation environmental awareness and tidiness. In 2016, Strathcona County was honoured to receive a five-bloom (highest score) silver rating, with special mention for Prairie Walk in Centre in the Park, in the Circle of Excellence category. Support from all sectors in the County is evident in all areas of the Communities in Bloom program criteria – sponsorship of park initiatives, wide-spread volunteer efforts, and volunteers, community groups and sponsors who work in providing floral displays. The community is beyond involved; it is fully engaged! This program is continuing to grow within the community.
