The Acton Garden Club has been at it again, beautifying the town and surveying the town to recognize Acton Businesses who bring beauty and curb appeal to their doorstep.
Each year a committee of Acton Garden Club members travel throughout the town, searching for gardens and landscapes deserving of recognition. Criteria for judging include design, color, texture, creativity, scale, and maintenance, and awards are granted in various categories.
This year the “Acton’s Looking Good” committee discovered some unique gardens and whimsical displays.
The Recipients of the “Acton’s Looking Good” Award were honored October 1 at the Acton Garden Club meeting with presentations of a plaque and photograph of their landscape and a reception at Acton Town Hall.
The Recipients of the “2024 Acton’s Looking Good” Awards are: (left to right)
