Application deadline is June 1. A free public tour of <br />winning properties will be held in August. <br />The awards are open to residents of Shoreview and the portion of Roseville that is within the Grass <br />Lake Watershed District. Judges will evaluate rain gardens, shoreline buffers, native plant gardens, <br />permeable driveways or patios and other property features that protect and improve water quality. <br />The program is intended to be educational, rather than competitive, and residents are encouraged to <br />apply if their garden or buffer is a work in progress. Judges will visit the properties of finalists and <br />provide feedback to help them improve their gardens and solve problems unique to their individual <br />situations. <br />Applications are available for download at www.cityofroseville.com/~reenawardapp. Printed copies <br />are available at Roseville and Shoreview City Halls and local Ramsey County libraries. <br />For more information, ca11651-490-4650. <br />1 <br />
