Townsend Getting Ready for the 2005
Most Welcoming Yard Contest

Attention Townsend residents!

Town of Townsend sealWilley Farms, The Appoquinimink River Association, and the Town of Townsend are announcing the first ever “Most Welcoming Yard” contest!

Clear out the old and get ready to plant the new because the “Most Welcoming Yard” will win big!  We're searching for those yards within town limits that are not only welcoming to the eye but also to wildlife and the natural world!  Criteria such as organization, yard maintenance, water conservation, wildlife habitat and overall beauty will be considered.

If you have a yard that you admire (even if it is your own), you will be able to nominate it at places throughout town before the June 4th, 2005 judging day.  In the meantime, plant your spring bulbs, create backyard conservation features, and have fun!

It will be well worth your time and hard work!  Prizes galore are provided by Willey Farms, The Appoquinimink River Association, and the Town of Townsend!

  • Grand Prize — $350 gift certificate to Willey Farms and $50 cash
  • 2nd Prize — $125 gift certificate to Willey Farms
  • 3rd Prize — $75 gift certificate to Willey Farms

More information to come in the future!

Don’t wait…start now to plan for your welcoming yard!

Call Emily DelleDonne at (302) 376-9246 with your questions.
