Garden Club’s 13th Annual “Sidewalk Gardens to Bragg About”
Any time from May 1 — May 20, please nominate a beautiful yard — your own or another’s — if it is in the Fort Bragg city limits, can be seen from the sidewalk, and is a pleasing-tothe-eye, well-kept space.
From May 23 — 28 Fort Bragg Garden Club members will judge the gardens based on visual appeal, plant variety and health, design, and maintenance. A new category on the score sheet this year is “environmentally friendly” when plants that are edible, native, pollinator-friendly, or droughttolerant are in evidence. A gift certificate to a local nursery will be given to the first, second, and third place winners, and to the Fort Bragg Bee City USA’s Annual Pollinator Garden. Bernie Norvell will choose his favorite for the “Mayor’s Choice Award.”
If you have a yard to nominate, please provide the address. Send an email by May 20 to info@fbgardenclub.com or call and leave a message or text (707)397-5824. More information can be found at www.fbgardenclub.com.
