2017 Yorkton In Bloom Winners

Judging is complete in the 2017 Yorkton in Bloom yard and garden competition and self guiding tours are available Saturday July 22 between 10 am and 4 pm.

“We had some excellent entries in all categories and I congratulate this year’s winners,” said Mayor Bob Maloney. “This program gives recognition to those individuals whose beautification efforts enhance the visual impact of our community,” he said.

Yorkton In Bloom is an annual yard and garden competition that is open to all residents of Yorkton. A joint program between the City of Yorkton and the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society, Yorkton In Bloom provides an avenue for individuals and businesses to showcase the hard work they put into their properties.

Residents are encouraged to enter their own property, or nominate a neighbour in either the regular In Bloom categories, or in the Golden Bloom categories for those 75 years and older. Winners in each category receive a certificate and the option to be included in the tour of the winning entries.
