Great Landscape Awards
The OEHD Landscape Contest will run April 15 - June 15.
Nominate your favorite neighborhood landscapes. No need to be modest, if your yard is beautiful, nominate it. It deserves recognition!
​
Once the nominations are in, our panel of judges will review the properties and choose ten winners.
The smaller print:
-
Properties awarded may be installed by a professional landscaper, but must be well maintained by the owner.
-
Gardens should be able to be seen from the street or sidewalk; Front yards only will be judged.
-
Recipients may be a home, apartment building, church, or business, but not a commercial landscaper or florist.
-
Properties must be within the Old Escondido Historic District boundaries.
-
A panel of judges will review all nominations using criteria such as but not limited to sustainability, aesthetic appeal, the use of regionally appropriate plants, and water conserving irrigation.
-
The board reserves the right to disqualify any nominations that are obvious hoaxes.
-
Winners will receive a sign for their yard to recognize their accomplishment.
