Registration for the Annual Home Garden Contest opens May 3 to homeowners and renters who reside within the Boroughs of Pottstown and Boyertown. People who enter the contest will be competing for bragging rights, as well as cash prizes up to $150. The two municipalities have separate judging, but all contestants will be invited to a joint awards ceremony in September.
