Award categories and details

Check out the award categories and descriptions for each of the Trillium Awards. The panel of judges will only evaluate front-yard garden nominations.

The Mayor's Award goes to the best front yard garden out of the nominations that we receive.

We issue two Civic Beautification Awards for every ward in the City of St. Catharines. For more information view our ward map. This award goes to a property that has put in effort to create a front yard landscape that is environmentally sensitive while contributing to the beautification of Garden City.

Evaluation criteria

We'll review the following criteria during the evaluation process:

  • Design features, including originality and creative thought
  • Use of native trees and shrubs
  • Pollinator plants
  • Use of mulch or rain barrels
  • Implementing edible gardens into the landscape while contributing to neighbourhood curb appeal
  • Special features, highlights or extraordinary efforts

This award is given to an individual or community organization for making a significant contribution to greening the community and inspiring others.

If you live in St. Catharines, you can submit a photo nomination of your favourite front garden. We will choose the top photos and videos and give the community an opportunity to vote for the best garden.
