Yards are selected by a group comprised of independent professional consultants and QCE residents. Selections are based on overall appearance and maintenance of turf areas along with the placement design and coordination of shrubs, trees, flowers and landscape accents. The condition of the yard, etc. at the time of the judges review takes precedence. Each winner receives a $35. gift certificate donated by The Flower Ranch. Thanks to Fonda Martin for organizing our Yard of the Month Subcommittee and acting as its 1st chairperson!
