Back by popular demand, Warwick in Bloom presents the second annual Show Me the Door Tour. Village of Warwick residents and business owners are encouraged to take part! Participants can showcase their gardening and decorating talents for the areas surrounding their doors, gates or other entryways. Warwick in Bloom Chairperson, Eileen Patterson, hopes participants will use their imagination to create a special door. Eileen said, “The display can include hanging baskets of flowers or fruits, flags, arbors, lawn ornaments, or any other combination of plants and features; which ever reflects a passion to create a welcome for visitors and friends.”

Show Me the Door judging will take place on July 24, 2010; the entry fee is $20. Participants’ doorways will be included on a tour map that will be sold for $10.00 each and will include directions for self-guided tours. The tour map can be picked up at Railroad Green Park in Warwick between 10-4. In addition, raffle tickets will be available for sale – the public is welcome to try their luck at winning one of the lovely garden-themed prizes.

All entries will be judged by a Warwick in Bloom committee of judges. Trophies will be awarded to First, Second and Third place for Best Residential Door and Best Business Door. In addition, special recognition prizes will be awarded in the following categories: Most Effort and Most Whimsical.
