Beautiful Visions begin with Bucks Beautiful.
Bucks Beautiful was founded in 1990 by Robert & Joyce Byers, to beautify Bucks County and complement its renown for the arts and history with a wealth of lush gardens.

The Bucks Beautiful Mission
Bucks Beautiful is designed to promote and extend the development of gardens in communities, towns, along roads, business premises and private homes.
Bucks Beautiful's goal is to compliment the world fame of Bucks County with a parade of lush, distinctive gardens.

Individuals, organizations and businesses are invited to participate in Bucks Beautiful and beautify Bucks County with distinctive gardens reflecting variety, color, creativity and visual impact. Bucks Beautiful is comprised of five programs.

Garden Competitions Garden Grants Garden Fair Garden Tour Scholarships

Garden Competitions for Everyone
The garden competition program supports Bucks Beautiful by inviting individuals of all ages, schools, community organizations, businesses and landscape professionals who install gardens to showcase their talents. A wide variety of garden categories may be entered in three seasonal competitions ñ spring, summer and fall. All gardens are judged by a group of experts, with awards presented at an annual ceremony each October.

Grants to Beautify the County
The Bucks Beautiful Garden Grant program encourages individuals, non-profit organizations, schools and garden clubs to host community gardens on view to the public. The goal is to beautify the county with annuals and perennials that continue to show throughout the growing season. Typical garden locations are roadside patches, public streets or town squares. The grant award is a 50/50 cash match up to a maximum of $2,000 per host each year. The grant may only be used for the purchase of annuals, perennials, flowering ornamentals and mulch; in-kind services or labor do not qualify.

The Spectacular Bucks Beautiful Garden Fair
This two-day event is held annually in March at Delaware Valley College. Its purpose is to assist people in all aspects of gardening with the aim of developing gardens that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Spectacular garden displays created by professional garden designers are showcased. Exhibitors feature the latest garden techniques, products and services to assist gardeners of all levels. There are informative seminars covering a wide range of topics to inspire and educate the beginner to the well-seasoned gardener.

A Unique Garden Tour
The Bucks Beautiful Kitchen & Garden Tour is a one-day event, which is a highlight of the spring season. Held on a Sunday in June, the tour offers a delightful afternoon, discovering the hidden jewels tucked away on the streets of Doylestown and the unique personal connection between the kitchens and gardens of some of the town's most beautiful homes.

Scholarships to Encourage our Future
