Nominations welcome for Lombard's Front Yard Beauties

For the fourth consecutive year, Lombard Garden Club is recognizing individual homeowners who have made their front yards especially attractive. It is the club's mission to "seek to promote an interest in gardening and to beautify the landscape of our community."

Eligible submissions are front yard gardens on properties with Lombard addresses.

Gardens should display attractive use of plants and hardscapes. Ongoing selection recognizes that gardens will change throughout the growing season.

Up to 20 gardens can be chosen each month.

A club representative will notify owners if their property is selected and offer them the opportunity to have a recognition sign placed in their yard for one month.

In addition, the selected front yard gardens may be featured on Lombard Garden Club's website, Facebook page at www.facebook.com/LombardGardenClub/ and in other local media.

Lombard residents can nominate a front yard address by logging on to www.lombardgardenclub.org or by phoning (630) 620-8938.
