Manteca Launches 'Fabulous Front Yard Competition' to Promote Sustainable Landscaping
The City of Manteca has initiated a 'Fabulous Front Yard Competition' aimed at encouraging homeowners to showcase their creativity, sustainability, and community pride through landscaping. The competition will evaluate entries based on five categories: water efficiency, color and plant palette, use of native plants, bee-friendly features, and overall design and creativity. Applications for the competition are currently open, and community voting will take place from August 31 to September 13. The winners will be announced on September 21, with a formal recognition at the City Council meeting on October 6. Each City Council District will have one finalist, along with a Mayor's Choice finalist, before the community votes to determine the overall winner.
