“It's the most wonderful time of the year”! No, NOT Christmas...Home Front Judging!!
As we quickly approach the 103rd Annual CFA Flower show we need to secure our HFJ Volunteer's (March 27-30, 2025). And we would be thrilled to have you be a part of this fabulous Coronado tradition. Homefront Judging is for everyone! No "Green Thumb" is required, only an appreciation of all things that grow & bloom and a willingness to stroll our streets, handing-out ribbons and making our Coronado Neighbors smile. Sign-up now!

2024 Home Front Judging Results
The 102nd Coronado Flower Association Home Front Judging results are in! Over one-hundred and fifty community volunteers participated in this fun-filled home-appreciation judging process. Awards were handed-out to many deserving home fronts: Blue Ribbons for First Prize, Red Ribbons for Second Prize, Yellow Ribbons for Third Prize and, this year, Green Ribbons to Earth-Friendly home fronts, those who focus on water conservation and minimal maintenance. Additional awards (noted by an asterisk) were given to Blue Ribbon winners in the over sixty-plus (60+) Judging Zones from which a Best Home Front, First Home Front Runner Up, Second Home Front Runner Up and Top Ten Winners were selected. The Coronado Cays Community competed similarly and were awarded The Best in the Cays, First Runner Up and Second Runner Up. A “blooming” good time was had by all! Thank you to the many hands that made this process possible.
