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.
The City of Michigan City will participate in the America In Bloom project in Spring 2008, but many preparations must be made before then.
The goal is to create “Extraordinary Spaces in Everyday Places,” and your help is greatly needed for Michigan City to be successful in this endeavor.
The projects you choose to do may include far more than simply making your neighborhood beautiful.
Perhaps your project enhances the quality of life for you and your neighbors, provides sustenance to your stomachs as well as your souls.
Maybe your project is a memorial for family and friends lost to cancer, drunk drivers, narcotic overdoses or war.
Making life beautiful by creating extraordinary spaces in everyday places...that’s the goal.
Together...we will make a difference!
Description:
Not everyone wants to get involved in the same way. Here you'll find a list of potential ways in which you can be part of the city-wide America In Bloom project.
The National America In Bloom (AIB) (www.americainbloom.org) program has provided us with a comprehensive list of recommendations from previous judges of this contest and from communities who have already participated in the AIB project.
The "Best Practices" document on Michigan City's America In Bloom website (www.mc-americainbloom.com) includes information for communities of ALL sizes.
The "Best Practices for Cities Our Size" document focuses only on communities that are close to the size of Michigan City (in population.)
