The Black Mountain Beautification Committee would like to thank all applicants for the 2020 Seed Money grants. The interest to help make Black Mountain even more beautiful and serve the community is inspiring! Jean Chamberlain, chairperson for the Seed Money subcommittee says “It was a very challenging decision as we try to review the applications with a mind as to how the available monies can best be used, and how they fit in to our mission statement. This year’s applicants had wonderful proposals and we encourage them and others to apply for awards in 2021.”
This award(s) will be given to an applicant(s) who submit a gardening project that best exemplifies the mission of the Beautification Committee: honoring the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains while seeking to reflect that beauty on the streets and in the lives of the citizens.
Focus of the project must be gardening-related within Black Mountain and adding a little something extra to our town.
Gardening-related can have a broad interpretation. We encourage you to use your imagination!
Applications are available: on this page, Town Hall, Black Mountain Library, Black Mountain Chamber of Commerce and Black Mountain Beautification Committee Facebook page.
The deadline for this application is early in March. The award will not exceed $1,000. Proceeds for this award were raised at the Black Mountain Garden Show and Sale. If you have questions, feel free to email us.
If you have a gardening-related project in mind that exemplifies the committee's mission statement, we encourage you to submit an application!
On-going maintenance will not be a responsibility of the Beautification Committee. Members and relatives of the Beautification Committee are not eligible.
