March 14, 2024 (El Cajon) - The City of El Cajon announces its inaugural June Bloom of El Cajon competition, a community-focused event designed to inspire and reward the creation of green spaces across our urban landscape. This initiative, in partnership with Armstrong Garden Centers, aims to engage citizens and businesses alike in fostering a greener, more vibrant City.
The June Bloom competition invites all residents and business owners in El Cajon to participate in transforming the community through the power of gardening. By enhancing front yards, balconies, storefronts, and community spaces with lush plants and creative landscaping, participants will not only contribute to the beautification of the City but also have the chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes.
“We believe that green spaces are essential for the wellbeing of our community,” said Chris Berg, Marketing Manager, City of El Cajon. “This competition is more than just about planting flowers and trees; it’s about coming together as a community to create a sustainable and beautiful environment for all to enjoy.”
The June Bloom competition is a testament to El Cajon’s commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. With the promotional support of Armstrong Garden Centers, participants will have access to high-quality plants, expert gardening advice, and the necessary resources to bring their green visions to life.
Contestants are encouraged to register and submit their entries by May 1, 2024. A panel of esteemed judges, including local horticulturists, community leaders, and representatives from Armstrong Garden Centers, will evaluate the entries based on creativity, use of space, and overall impact.
“We’re excited to partner with the City of El Cajon on this innovative initiative,” said Chris Gardner, Manager, Armstrong Garden Centers El Cajon. “It’s an excellent opportunity to encourage community involvement and show that everyone can play a role in enhancing the green footprint of our city.”
The winners of the June Bloom competition will be announced at a special ceremony in July, where the most exceptional green spaces will be celebrated for their contribution to El Cajon’s environmental and aesthetic enhancement.
