The Yard of the Month program celebrates homeowners and businesses whose care and creativity help make Watertown a more beautiful place to live. Each month, the selected properties serve as a reminder that small efforts can have a lasting impact on our neighborhoods.
Awards are presented throughout June, July, and August. Winners receive a custom Yard of the Month sign to display, a certificate of recognition signed by the mayor, Watertown Bucks, and, of course, plenty of neighborhood bragging rights.
It’s not too late to nominate a favorite yard for August. Nominations may be submitted at County Fair Foods, Curated, Gather, Watertown Flowers, Watertown Regional Library, and Wheel Inn, or online at bit.ly/WatertownYardoftheMonth. Self-nominations are always welcome.
