Beauty Grows Here Award

Have you ever seen a garden that you thought should win an award? Thanks to CBUF, the Civic Beautification and Urban Forestry Committee of the Corvallis Parks & Recreation Department, there’s a way to do that. 

For 16 years, CBUF has been recognizing private front yard gardens in Corvallis with the Beauty Grows Here award. This program is designed to recognize landscapes and plantings that enhance the livability of the neighborhood and reflect the qualities of aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility.

Here’s how it works:

1.    Any residential or commercial garden or landscaped area is eligible, as long as it is visible from the street.

2.    Anyone can nominate any qualified property, including one’s own.

3.    There is no cost to nominate a property.

4.    Nominations for multiple properties are welcome.

5.    Nominations are accepted and awards are presented year-round. There is no due date or deadline.

6.    Winning properties receive a certificate and a “Beauty Grows Here” yard sign (see the above logo). 

7.    Application forms are available online at www.corvallisoregon.gov/bc-cbufdac, and can also be picked up at Corvallis Parks & Recreation Headquarters, 1310 SW Avery Park Drive.
