Mrs. Matthews enjoys working long hours in her expansive yard, mowing and tending to her beautiful flowers. She received a certificate, the “Yard of the Month” sign placed in her yard for the month of May and recognition on our Facebook page. Thank you Mrs. Matthews for beautifying your yard to make our Town a lovely place to live! Nominations for June are open now until May 31st.

Our Yard of the Month begins on May 1^st and ends in October.  We are asking our Franklinville residents to nominate someone with a beautiful yard, by calling, or emailing the Town Hall before the last day of the month.  The chosen Yard of the Month will be featured on our Town Facebook page and have the Yard of the Month sign posted in their yard for the month. We hope this will encourage everyone to get out and beautify their yards, which will then add to the landscape of our Town. This will be an annual event running from late spring through mid fall.
