People who âgrow for itâ and enter the 9th annual Home Garden Contest could win a $150 prize.
Registration for the garden contest opens May 3 to homeowners and renters who reside within the boroughs of Pottstown and Boyertown. People who enter the contest will compete for cash prizes in several garden categories. The grand prize for most categories is $150, but there are also cash winnings for 2nd place, 3rd place and honorable mentions.
Contest entrants will receive more benefits than the chance to win a monetary award. The Home Garden Contest supports both beginner and experienced gardeners so they can enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of the activity. The contest also promotes community.
The local Home Garden Contest is back for the 9th year and is returning with exciting tour events meant to inspire people to get growing.
Registration for the Annual Home Garden Contest opens May 3 to homeowners and renters who reside within the Boroughs of Pottstown and Boyertown. People who enter the contest will be competing for bragging rights, as well as cash prizes up to $150. The two municipalities have separate judging, but all contestants will be invited to a joint awards ceremony in September.
Residents can get inspiration for their garden by participating in the Boyertown and Pottstown Garden Tour Series. Three self-guided tours will take place in each borough throughout the gardening season. Daniel Price, Mosaic Community Land Trust executive director, said this is the first time there will be multiple tours with one happening in the spring, summer and fall this year.
