The contest recognizes community groups, businesses, public institutions and other organizations undertaking landscaping projects that enhance the appearance of commonly owned sections of commercial or residential properties in Montgomery County. Landscaping along County roadsides, medians, or other public locations is also eligible for the award.
Landscapes
should emphasize environmentally sensitive plantings that eschew
non-native and invasive species, help reduce stormwater runoff, minimize water
use, provide wildlife habitat, and keep pesticides and fertilizers out of local
streams.
