Front Yard Garden Contest To Be Judged From June 5-10

Cassadaga In BLOOM

CASSADAGA — The Citizens for a Better Cassadaga has been selected to participate in the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation’s “BLOOM Front Yard Garden Recognition Project.”

The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation sponsors the annual event to publicly acknowledge homeowners and renters who contribute to the curb appeal of local neighborhoods while inspiring others to take part.

“All village of Cassadaga residents are encouraged to do their part in making Cassadaga a more beautiful place to live,” said Cynthia Flaherty, Cassadaga Village Trustee and local BLOOM chairperson. “The BLOOM project is not a contest but a way to say thank you for showing community pride and adding color and beauty to our community environment. This project coincides with several goals in Cassadaga’s updated comprehensive plan around community and civic pride. We’re looking for everyone to get out and have some fun in their yards.”

A BLOOM team will be canvassing the village between June 5 and 10 looking for front yards that have beautiful flowers, plants, and landscaping. By June 26th, recognized homes will be acknowledged with a sign and homeowners/renters will receive a special gift bag. A giveaway will be held at the project’s close in July with a chance for all participants to win various prizes. A limited number of gardens will also be recognized by the Northern Chautauqua BLOOM Front Yard Garden Project to be entered to win a Chautauqua County Chamber Bucks gift certificate.

Criteria for selection includes general curb appeal, color, creativity and plant variety. The team will also look that yards are well maintained, have minimum weeds, and include no artificial flowers. The property should also be free of litter, debris, and clutter.
