About Whitby in Bloom
Whitby in Bloom is a civic beautification program that promotes environmental
responsibility and civic pride. It is based on the international Communities in Bloom
program. The success of our program is attributed to the dedicated efforts of volunteers
and the participation of homeowners throughout Whitby who graciously open their
picturesque gardens to the public.
