Do you have the best garden in Burnsville?

Then nominate yourself or someone you know for the annual Burnsville Garden & Landscape Contest! 

The Burnsville Convention & Visitors Bureau (BCVB), in partnership with Cal’s Market & Garden Center, proudly presents the 2014 Garden & Landscape Contest for Burnsville residents and businesses.

The BCVB is in its third year coordinating the event that was formerly an annual contest put on by the City of Burnsville. “This event gives us an opportunity to show our appreciation to residents and business owners who keep the community looking great.  A beautiful city makes our job of attracting visitors that much easier,” reasons Executive Director, Amie Burrill.
