With many of us spending more time at home this year, gardening has taken off all around the Tri-County area. In addition to the health benefits of gardening, the activity also promotes a sense of community. Gardening beautifies our communities, feeds our families and neighbors, and brings us all together around a shared love of all that grows.
In this year’s Boyertown and Pottstown Home Garden Contest, 55 of those gardeners had their hard work rewarded, with top gardeners winning cash prizes and hand-painted flagstones. Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and participants!
