Help us find and celebrate great home gardens!
Since 1971, The Garden Club of Kent has been conferring Community Beautification Awards annually to recognize great home gardens. The program honors good stewardship of the land and recognizes aesthetics, creativity and maintenance as well as sound environmental practices.
Preference is given to gardens located in Kent, but consideration will be given to gardens in adjacent towns if a winner is not selected in Kent.
Professionally designed gardens are acceptable, but the gardens must be maintained by the owners.
