Eustis in Bloom, an affiliate chapter of the national America in Bloom organization, is beautifying the City with several projects underway.
Clifford House Community Gardens Planting
Following the winter freezes, Eustis in Bloom collaborated with Publix Serves on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, to welcome almost 100 volunteers to revitalize the Community Gardens surrounding the historic Clifford House Museum. Volunteers worked under the direction of Eustis in Bloom committee members to replant flower beds, place new mulch and trim weeds during the Community Connections event. Publix also presented the City of Eustis with a check to support future Eustis in Bloom projects.

America in Bloom Advisors Visit
Eustis in Bloom recently hosted America in Bloom (AIB) advisors Brent Pemberton and Steve Zwiep. During these annual visits, AIB advisors tour the City of Eustis, becoming familiar with our parks, facilities and other community spaces. After the tour, the advisors create a report for Eustis in Bloom with tips and recommendations to support their beautification efforts across the city.
Downtown Eustis
The City held a meeting with Downtown merchants to discuss the possibility of placing planters in front of their store fronts. The business will sponsor the planters and agree to replant flowers and plants two to three times a year to keep them fresh through the various seasons.

Additional Projects The Eustis in Bloom committee is planning several additional projects, from the Eustis Cemetery to the various parks around the City.
A beautiful landscape throughout the community and downtown Eustis will enhance the appeal and add value to the City as a whole.
