5 Categories. 20 Cash Prizes. In Both Boroughs
While the number of cash prizes we can award may be limited, the Home Garden
Contest benefits more than just the people who participate. Growing a home
garden also rewards loved ones, friends, neighbors, passersby–anyone, really, who
can take in the beauty, or bounty, of your garden. So thanks for playing a part in
enhancing our community. Good luck and good health.
Registration for the 2022 Home Garden Contest runs from April 29 to June 24.
Residents of Boyertown & Pottstown Boroughs are eligible to participate in one standard category in addition to the bonus category.
A Lot with A Little
If you have limited space, this category allows you to showcase your special area. Let imagination,
creativity, and ingenuity triumph over size! The possibilities are endless with containers, window
boxes, planters, or tiny yards (100 sq. ft. or less).

Bonus Category
Best Block
You work hard to make your outdoor space special, and so do your neighbors. If you have three or
more exceptional houses on your block, register for a chance to win a block party hosted by Mosaic Community Land Trust or Building a Better Boyertown.
