Lewes In Bloom
BRINGING BEAUTY TO LEWES
“It’s like opening this wonderful Christmas present. You have done a phenomenal job. Coming across on the ferry and then taking the road coming in was really very, very special.”
— Evadne Giannini America in Bloom Advisor
“We have a great group of volunteers; our patrons & head patrons take so much pride in what they do. It’s the city that wins the award."
— Warren Golde, Founder Lewes in Bloom
Lewes in Bloom, INC., was founded in 2002 by a small group of dedicated volunteers on a mission to promote and maintain the beautification of Lewes public gardens and parks through citizen volunteerism. Our garden patrons maintain numerous gardens throughout Lewes in our City Gardens program and Children's Learning Garden program. The Art in Bloom program of Lewes in Bloom plans public art installations in Lewes, often in collaboration with other organizations.
