Hawthorn Woods In Bloom

The Village of Hawthorn Woods joined the America in Bloom national environmental effort in 2018 and formed its own local chapter in 2019 called Hawthorn Woods in Bloom. America in Bloom is a national non-profit organization which provides communities with a framework for building community pride, participation, and beautification.

In 2019, Mayor Joseph Mancino appointed the inaugural members to the Hawthorn Woods in Bloom Committee. These members serve as volunteers for this initiative. The Hawthorn Woods in Bloom Committee is working in several different community areas including:

Cultural heritage
Flowers and landscaping
Adopt-A-Park
Excellence in Landscaping Award
Community Vitality
Urban Forestry
Public Awareness
Environmental Education
