New Signs! After several months advocating for new signs, WHNA Yard of the Month coordinators Paula Collard and July Wilson have given the recognition program a whole new look. Paula took the initiative to have the signs redesigned and replaced, while Judy painted the frames.

Photography: Jason Woelfel will take a picture of the winning yards with or without the owners. Please call him at (214) 563-9617 to schedule a day and time. Since many flowering plants only bloom for a short period of time, please call as soon as you receive recognition so that a photo can be taken.

Criteria

• Must be a WHNA member
• Appealing landscape with seasonal color
• Shrubbery pruned and maintained
• Lawn mowed and edged

* Please note that the property may or may not look as it did during judging.
