Take a drive by the homes of these winners and enjoy their colorful yards and gardens.
The Judges’ Choice Winner(s) are all the volunteers who maintain corners on Main Street in Polson, the plantings at the intersection of Highway 93 and Montana 35, the flowerbeds at the John Dowdell Playhouse home of the Port Polson Players, the triangular flowerbed along Highway 93 at the east side of Ducharme Park and those who donate money for hanging baskets around downtown Polson. These volunteers donate many hours of their time which we appreciate. We, especially, would like to recognize the donated time from Delaney’s Nursery
The Beautification Committee wishes to recognize Kathy and Kerry Shore of South Shore Nursery for their many years of beautiful gardens. Kathy has retired and closed the business. We wish her many years being able to spend time in her own yard.
The Beautification Committee thanks everyone who spends time in their yards and their business exteriors to make our hometown a prettier place to live.
