The YARDS Contest is part of the Yards Are Really Distinctive Showplaces Program sponsored by the Hampton Clean City Commission’s Beautification Committee. The purpose of the contest is to recognize Hampton residents who maintain beautiful, environmentally friendly yards.
Partners with the HCCC Beautification Committee in the YARDS Contest are the Woman’s Club of Hampton and Virginia Cooperative Extension’s Hampton Master Gardeners.
Local business sponsorship is provided by Bloxom’s Nursery; Countryside Gardens; McDonald Garden Center; Mercury Mulch; and Suzanne Young, NCMT. The annual Yard of the Year portrait is painted by local artist Rita Honeycutt.
