Awards are presented in June, July, and August. Nominations can be dropped off at County Fair Foods, Curated, Hy-Vee, The Tree Farm, Watertown Flowers, and the Watertown Regional Library—or submitted online at bit.ly/WatertownYardoftheMonth. Property owners are encouraged to nominate their own yard.
