The results of the Coronado Home Front judging by the Coronado Floral Association were published in the Coronado Eagle the week of the Coronado Flower Show.

This year, the judging team consisted of 93 volunteers. After looking at and judging single-family residences throughout Coronado and the Cays, they awarded more than 2,900 ribbons.

Blue ribbons were awarded for First Prize, Red ribbons for Second Prize, Yellow ribbons for Third Prize and White ribbons for Honorable Mention.

There were extra ribbons awarded in Coronado Village for the Best Home Front, the First Runner Up and the Top Ten Home Fronts.

As promised, I went and took pictures of the recipients of these additional ribbons. Come watch a short video of these Coronado Home Front Winners.

If you didn’t get a chance to see them during last weekend’s Flower Show, here is a list of the addresses so you can enjoy a drive around Coronado to view these spectacular home fronts:

Coronado Home Front Judging Author: Apr 08

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 a part of the Coronado Flower Show. Armed with their judging sheets, the volunteers go through all 39 judging zones evaluating each and 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 tell, 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.

Next week I will write about the winners of the Coronado Home Front Judging.

Today, I want to share with you some of the magnificent blooms you can see throughout the Coronado neighborhoods.

If you have a hankering to grow some of these wonderful flowers yourself, check out the Coronado Cookie’s Flower Seed Store.

P.S. Head over to A Avenue to see some spectacular flower displays!
