How to receive the  garden of the month award:


The “Golden Shovel Award” was designed to honor an outstanding garden every month.

Guidelines for consideration of this award involve the garden plot adhering to the following conditions:

• Consistently maintaining and cultivating your plot
• Planting with vegetables/flowers or covercrop and consistently harvesting
• Keeping your plot clean of weeds, old plants and debris
• Appearance of your plot being above and beyond general expectations and adding to the beauty of the Gardens!

The Council officers will inspect the garden plots during the last week of the month and review suggestions from the Plot Manager.

Once the winner is selected, the gardener will be notified and asked their permission to place the golden shovel in their plot for the month.  A certificate will also be presented to the gardener and a photo of their plot will be put on the garden website and Facebook page.
