Each year, members of the City of Mill Creekâs Art and Beautification Board recognize City residents who have put exceptional time and effort into the beautification of their property.
Selection Process
Board members tour the city during May and June, and take pictures of noteworthy properties. The photos are used by the Board to determine Great Garden Award recipients.
Recipients
Each recipient has a temporary yard sign placed in their yard. Recipients are recognized by the Board and City Council at a council meeting following the selection where they receive an award keepsake.
2026 Great Garden Award Recipients
Recipients of 2026's Great Garden Awards have been selected. The Art & Beautification Board met in August to select gardens among their chosen nominees, and recipients were notified shortly thereafter. Check out the Awards Ceremony gallery on our Flickr.
