Chronicle Seeks the Traditional and Unique for Yard of Week

Beauty can mean a lot of things. And a beautiful yard may be the product of creation that veers from the norm. Yards deemed lovely by traditional standards—with lush flowers beds, shady trees, and a well-trimmed lawn—as always will be considered for Yard of the Week. So, too, will be the unique.

Water being a precious resource, some yard-keepers today may incorporate conservation-minded plants and landscaping techniques. Others take advantage of the space outside to grow edible crops, planting produce in place of petunias. The point is, no matter the landscape style, we hope to receive nominations for a variety from the area and give consideration to all.

Nominations for Yard of the Week are currently being accepted. The program is open to residents throughout the Payson-Santaquin area, including Elberta, Elk Ridge, Genola, Goshen, Salem, Spring Lake, West Mountain, Benjamin, and Woodland Hills, and areas in between.

Send us your nomination by email at paysonchronicle@gmail.com,through a Facebook message, at the Chronicle office at 145 East Utah Avenue Suite 5, or by mail to The Payson Chronicle, PO Box 361, Payson, UT 84651. Please include the nominee's full name(s), address, phone number, and email address, if possible. Feel free, also, to include a brief note indicating why you've chosen the yard for the honor.
