America In Bloom

In 2007, for the first time, Incline Village entered the America In Bloom competition in the 5,001 - 10,000 population category and received a special mention. This year, we were fortunate to be awarded the “AIB Community Involvement Award” at the 7th annual America in Bloom Symposium and Awards Program in Columbus, Ohio on October 2, 2008.

America In Bloom is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting nationwide beautification programs and both personal and community involvement through the use of flowers, plants, trees and other environmental and lifestyle enhancements, and to providing educational programs and resources to that end.

Specially trained judges travel across the country evaluating and awarding communities on 8 specific criteria: Floral, Landscape, Urban Forestry, Environment, Tidiness, Community Involvement, Turf & Groundcover and Heritage. This is the framework to a community citizen's quality of life, making America a better place to live, one community at a time.
