Calling All Green Thumbs!

The Hamilton Trillium Awards Program is one of the oldest and largest beautification programs in North America and has been a Hamilton institution since 1956. This program has promoted and encouraged community pride through the recognition of excellence in landscape design, maintenance, and effort to beautify properties making a positive contribution to the City of Hamilton’s biodiversity. Over 150 volunteer judges will review and score the nominated front yard gardens in each ward and award the top 20 highest scored gardens in each ward. Two commercial / community properties within each ward will be awarded the Community Trillium Award, formally known as the Award of Excellence. The highest scoring White Trillium gardens from each ward will receive the Pink Trillium Award, one per ward. All Pink Award winners will be considered for a Red Trillium Award, with only one Red Trillium Award for the entire City. All judges will be provided with training and all the necessary materials to judge front yard gardens based on the goals and criteria of the Trillium Award Program. All winners will be announced in September on the Hamilton Trillium Awards website.
