The Lake Stevens Arts Commission is again sponsoring its annual community wide “Blooms around the Lake” garden contest. 

Gardens will be judged mid-July with awards announced immediately following the Aquafest parade.  Gardens will be judged with creativity, variety and execution in mind.  Please no professional gardens.
 
Thank you to Sunnyside Nursery for generously providing the following gift certificate awards:  First place $100; Second place $75 and third place $50. 

Submit your pictures (12 max.) and any commentary on your garden to Denice Thibaut at rthibaut@comcast.net.  The entry deadline is July 5, 2011.
