WesterFlora 2010
"For The Love Of Gardening"
WesterFlora will "Celebrate Westerville the Beautiful" during its 20th garden tour on July 17, 2011. Check back here in May, 2011 for the entry form.
The WesterFlora Garden Tour entered into
it's 19th annual tour of a selection of gardens in the Westerville community
that were bursting with color, plant collections, theme gardens, scenic views
and much more. The theme for 2010 was "For The Love Of Gardening"
WesterFlora began the same year the AmeriFlora 92
International Flower Show was held in Columbus. Communities throughout Central
Ohio conducted local gardening contests in conjunction with AmeriFlora some
lasted for a few years after the AmeriFlora show, but only Westerville's
WesterFlora continues as an annual event.
WesterFlora has evolved from a judged gardening competition
to a non-competitive garden tour leading to greater community participation.
Members of the Westerville Civic Beautification Committee select gardens for
the tour from the entries received, and those that best represent landscape
diversity, uniqueness, and horticultural expression.
Entry forms
were available starting May 1, 2010 and were accepted through June 19, 2010. They were available here on line or at the Westerville Community Center at 350 N.
