I've been working really hard on my yard this year! I love flowers and beautiful things outside. More than inside even. But my yard is far from beautiful in anyone else's eye I'm sure. But, my neighbor...Geez! Her yard looks like it should be in 'Better Homes & Garden's magazine! I feel a little weird snapping a photo though and nominating her! Oh wait...I live in Pasco anyway. This is for the City of Kennewick! But check it out Kennewick Residents!

The Yard of the Season Program has been designed by the City of
Kennewick Parks and Recreation Commission to share our appreciation of
individuals and businesses for their hard work towards beautifying the City of
Kennewick.

We need your help by nominating homes and businesses within the city
limits of Kennewick that you feel are doing a great job on their yards and/or
landscaping.

Awards are given for spring, summer and fall, with nominations due by April
7th, June 7th or September 7th, respectively.  Winners are presented with a
certificate of appreciation at a Council Meeting, the picture of their property is
posted on our web site and a sign is placed in their yard or landscaping.

A committee from the Basin Bloomers Garden Club volunteers their time to
do all of the judging.  Judging is based upon: regular mowing and trimming,
flower beds, lawn free of weeds and disease, trees and shrubs pruned, all
planting strips well cared for and attractive to look at.

A nomination form is located on the City of Kennewick website at
