Another year, another win for the Tow of Sidney!
With over 17 billion blooms counted, Sidney is the Bloomingest Community of 2024 for the second year in a row!
The 49th Annual Flower Count, which ran from Wednesday, March 6th to March 13th, ended with a record-breaking 38,031,937,388 blossoms counted by hard-working flower lovers in the Greater Victoria region.
Those numbers surpassed last year’s count by nearly five billion blooms!
After Sidney, the municipality that has the second-most number of blossoms is Victoria, at just under 16 billion blossoms. Saanich took third spot at just over 2 billion blooms.
Our biggest thank you goes to all community members, schools, & students who participated in the 49th Annual Flower Count. You are the reason for this event's success, making us proud to say we work, play, and live in Greater Victoria. ????
Until 2025 – our 50th year! ???? pic.twitter.com/81FAzeYX4q
