The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society is now accepting nominations for its Community Green Award to recognize greening and beautification efforts throughout Pennsylvania. The deadline for nominations is July 15.
Each year, the PHS Community Greening Award recognizes greening and beautification efforts throughout the region, such as plantings that beautify main streets, public parks, train stations, churches, schoolyards, libraries, traffic islands, and other public spaces.
Volunteer judges evaluate sites in July and August based on plant variety, design, use of space, and horticultural practices. PHS notifies award winners in September. Sites that have been previously recognized may be nominated for outstanding maintenance.
All honorees are invited to award receptions held in the fall at PHS Headquarters in Philadelphia and at sites in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh.
