Each dwelling unit may only be registered once.
Registration is not mandatory-It is important to note that it is not necessary to register to win in your district. Registration does however guarantee that the judge will inspect the property. Furthermore, participants will receive, upon registration, a voucher for a free box of flowers redeemable at Pépinière Jasmin, or at the Centre du jardin Saint-Laurent.
A total of 24 prizes will be awarded, specifically 14 in the residential category, 6 in the gardens category, and several in the industries and institutions category including the Micheline-Arsenault grand prize for excellence and the Prix Raymond-Jasmin for businesses. Judging will be based on quality and originality, and only those landscapes visible from the public thoroughfare will be considered. Winners will be selected by a horticultural expert between July 14 and August 1st, and their names will be announced in the fall. For more information, please contact the Citizens’ Office at 514 855-6000. Good luck to everyone!
