Mourns VIEW <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: <br />From: <br />Item Title/Subject: <br />Item No: 01 <br />Meeting Date: Sep 4, 2018 <br />Type of Business: WS <br />Administrator Review: <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />Jon Sevald, Community Development Director <br />Residential Garden Awards <br />Discussion: <br />Mounds View is the proud owner of about 600 rain gardens! With the intent of <br />promoting beatification and maintenance of raingardens, as well as recognizing <br />residents' efforts of beautifying their yards and neighborhoods, Staff is suggesting that <br />the City provide a garden award program. An award recognizing resident's efforts, is a <br />means to thank resident gardeners, as well as encouragement of neighborly <br />competition. <br />Examples: <br />City <br />Program <br />Award Name <br />Eligibility <br />Physical Award <br />Brooklyn Park <br />Summer <br />Blossom <br />Summer Blossom <br />Single -Family <br />$250 gift card, <br />engraved paver <br />Townhome <br />Neighborhood garden <br />Commercial <br />N/A <br />Metro <br />Blooms <br />Best Environmental <br />Visual appeal and <br />impact, design, plant <br />variety and health, <br />maintenance, and <br />environmental <br />stewardship <br />Certificate (PDF) <br />-Stewardship <br />Best Boulevard Garden <br />Best Residential Garden <br />Best Use of Small Space <br />Best Garden Block <br />Best Hillside Garden <br />Best Pollinator Garden <br />Best Business Garden <br />Richfield <br />Richfield in <br />Bloom <br />Choice <br />Resident <br />Yard sign, $25 <br />Gift Card <br />-People's <br />Joe K <br />Resident <br />St. Paul <br />Blooming <br />Saint Paul <br />Garden Steward <br />Volunteer individual or <br />group, maintaining <br />garden at park <br />Framed <br />certificate <br />Egg/Plant Edible Garden <br />> 50% edible/herbal <br />garden <br />Business/Institutional <br />Business or institution <br />Residential: Ornamental <br />Ornamental garden <br />Residential: <br />Environmental <br />Native or rain garden <br />Outstanding Gardening <br />Advocate <br />Individual or group <br />
