Residents interested in helping the city of Ottawa with the America in Bloom contest is asked to come to an organization meeting. Ottawa Is Blooming will host the meeting this Saturday starting at 10am at City Hall.
The meeting will discuss potential projects and will give attendees the chance to share ideas as well. The contest encourages the use of flowers, plants, and trees in promoting beautification through education and community involvement.
America in Bloom advisors will be coming to Ottawa June 12th to the 14th and will get a tour of the city. OIB Co-Chair Stephanie Stacy says the time is tight, but the city can build on improvements that were made over the last ten years while participating in the program.
Ottawa will likely host the America in Bloom symposium awards in 2024. The awards usually attract about 200 attendees to host the community for a three or four day period.
