Properties that applied for an award but did not meet the judging criteria for an award will be provided the judge's feedback along with recommendations from the board on how to address the conditions that existed to cause the property to score lower.

This year the judging criteria was revised to place a greater emphasis on the use of bright, eye catching colors as focal points in the landscape.  It's not only pleasing to the eye, it also beneficial to pollinators and wildlife.  Since this was a change from prior year's standards, the board advised judges to give fair consideration to exceptionally attractive and well maintained landscapes that may have lacked bright colors in an annual display or found on flowering shrubs or perennials.

Moving forward, property managers and owners are urged to incorporate more colorful elements into their landscapes appropriate to the site and conditions.
