"We got to know, and were able to recognize people who were contributing to the beautification of our community. Previously, we were aware of the results of their efforts, but did not necessarily know the individuals behind the scenes, nor had we reached out to them. We have come to realize the importance of recognizing these individual efforts and finding ways to partner with them to make our community even better. Examples: neighborhood associations, church garden groups, litter cleanup volunteers, Metroparks and National Parks employees and garden clubs"
