Yard of the Month awards are just around the corner. Like previous years, we are only judging nominated homes, so email us your favorite Plum Creek gardens! Any home in Plum Creek can be nominated. You can even nominate your own home. To nominate a home, email [email protected].

The Landscape Committee will judge homes the first week of each month of April, May and June and the winning yards will have signs by the 15th of the month. Remember, only nominated yards will be judged so send those emails.

Prizes are awarded for First, Second, and Third Place. Home Depot gift cards are awarded: First Place-$60, Seconded Place- $50, Third Place- $40. So if you know of a great yard, it’s worth taking a few moments to submit the nomination to [email protected].

Have your gardens ready for judging and your nominations submitted by April 1st. Continue submitting lovely yards for awards until June 1st of 2015.

If you see a beautiful yard and want to reward that gardener, send a nomination. All you need to submit is the address to [email protected].
