WHO WE ARE
The vision of Coshocton in Bloom was created in 2010 by a group of concerned citizens looking for a way to beautify and improve the overall quality of life in our community as well as enhance economic development opportunities.
We chose to get involved with America in Bloom (AIB). We thought it was a perfect fit because of its mission to promote nationwide beautification through education and community involvement by encouraging the use of flowers, plants, trees, and other environmental and lifestyle enhancements.
Since its inception, Coshocton in Bloom has won multiple national awards including several for our outstanding floral displays. This past year CIB built 2 new greenhouses within the community to house the CIB floral production. Participating in in AIB has helped Coshocton to beautify and improve the overall quality of life through AIB programs, grant opportunities, resources library and yearly advisor visits to our community.
Each year the board of CIB reviews the AIB advisor’s evaluations of each of the 7 categories and looks for ways to improve and plan for the following year. Coshocton in Bloom has helped make Coshocton a welcoming and vibrant place to live, work, and play – benefiting from colorful plants and trees; enjoying clean environments; celebrating heritage; and planting pride through volunteerism.
CIB is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
