About Blooming Saint Paul Showcase

The Blooming Saint Paul Showcase is a collaboration between the City of Saint Paul, Saint Paul Garden Club, and Saint Paul Master Gardeners. The Showcase highlights amazing gardens as well as stories from residents and business owners who are dedicated to enhancing the Saint Paul community through gardening. This virtual celebration recognizes honorees who have been nominated by the community.

City staff and Ramsey County Master Gardener volunteers contact nominees and invite them to introduce us to their garden, share their gardening secrets, or tell us why they are a gardener. Their story may arrive in writing, in a video, or as a work of art. We celebrate all nominees online through social media posts and our website during the rest of the year.

The 2024 nomination period has closed, and we are collecting submissions from honorees and compiling the showcase for this fall.

You can view the full 2023 showcase on the Saint Paul Natural Resources Facebook page, or view highlights of the 2023 honorees.

Blooming Saint Paul Awards (2011-2019)

From 2011-2019 the Blooming Saint Paul Awards was a collaborative initiative between Saint Paul Parks and Recreation, the Saint Paul Garden Club, and the Ramsey County Master Gardeners. The program was presented by the Saint Paul Pioneer Press and the Capitol Region Watershed District. The Blooming Saint Paul Awards helped recognize residents and businesses who are dedicated to enhancing their local communities through landscaping. 

We recognized nominated gardens, trees or groups in seven different categories. Each category recognized the top three nominations with Golden Bloom, Silver Bloom, and Bronze Bloom awards.
