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.
