Communities in Bloom LogoIn the Town of Orangeville, we take pride in the beauty of our community. We participate in the Communities in Bloom program which focuses on maintaining our landscapes, parks, green spaces, and natural heritage and taking environmental action.

Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit organization which holds provincial, national and international community challenges to enhance green spaces through community involvement.
