Coronado Home Front Judging

Spring has sprung in Coronado and the flowers are in full bloom. Coronado becomes particularly picturesque in the Spring as people get ready for the Annual Coronado Flower Show and the Home Front Judging. Over 80 volunteers from the Coronado Floral Association do the home front judging as an added event to the Coronado Flower Show. Armed with their judging sheets, the volunteers go through all 39 judging zones evaluating every home front in Coronado. This year that task will be completed on Monday, 04/06/09 through Wednesday, 04/08/09. By Wednesday evening, all of the ribbons will be awarded. The judging sheets are broken down into three main categories: first impression, design and execution. Each of these categories is further broken down so that every detail is looked at. Each aspect counts for a percentage of the vote for that home front. For instance, aesthetic aspects account for 15% of the total, while neatness and grooming of plants and lawn account for 30%. As you can imagine, there is a lot of work, time and attention to detail involved and it cannot be an easy job given how many beautiful home fronts there are in Coronado. Today, I want to share with you some of the magnificent blooms you can see throughout the Coronado neighborhoods. Coronado Home Fronts ~ P.S.
