Presented
the
2009
landscape
recognition
awards,
these
awards
recognize
Arlington's
businesses,
commercial
properties
and
nonprofit
organization
that
have
helped
to
make
arlington
the
special
place
that
it
is
through
their
outstanding
landscape
installations
and
landscape
maintenance.
This
annual
award
is
presented
to
those
that
help
our
own
clinic
book
its
best
year
round
and
hopes
to
inspire
resonance
for
ideas
on
how
they
can
make
their
landscape
beautiful
as
well.
C
Committee
members
felt
that
providing
recognition
to
commercial
and
professional
properties
and
nonprofit
entities
which
displayed
particularly
effective
landscape,
installation
and
maintenance,
would
recognize
the
special
contributions
that
help
to
enhance
to
arlington
public
views
and
streetscapes
also
the
awardees,
thus
enhancing
their
own
landscaping
as
they
recognize
it's
positive
public
relations
value.
Additionally,
the
committee
hopes
that
homeowners
might
find
new
landscaping
ideas
or
be
motivated
to
replicate
some
of
these
ideas
and
their
own
property.
That's
helping
to
make
our
community
even
more
attractive.

B
Afternoon,
chairman
favola
and
members
of
the
board
and
mr.
Karle,
I'm
jim,
govern
I've
been
a
proud
resident
of
arlington
since
1963,
and
I'm
pleased
to
represent
the
beautification
committee
this
afternoon
and
to
present
to
you,
the
representatives
of
the
six
properties
that
we've
selected
to
receive
the
landscape
installation
awards
this
year.
B
As
we
all
know,
in
our
heavily
urban
community,
open
space
for
landscaping
is
constrained
for
many
commercial
and
institutional
properties,
so
whether
required
by
county
site
requirements
or
by
the
intent
of
the
property
owners,
we're
appreciative
of
the
property
owners
who
do
landscape
and
just,
as
importantly,
maintain
their
available
bass
in
attractive
ways.
This
enhances
their
property
and
it
in
our
counties
streetscapes.
So
the
committee's
pleased
that
we
have
this
opportunity
to
recognize
this
year's
awardees
for
their
carrying
stewardship
of
their
properties.
A
round.
