Bowie’s All-Star Gardens
These awards are presented to entrants who have won a
category and then continue to maintain or improve their
property. After winning a category, they will receive a
1 Star Maintenance the next year, a 2 Star Maintenance
the third year, a 3 Star Maintenance the fourth year, and
will be entered into “Bowie’s All- Star Gardens” the
fifth year. This allows their hard work to be acknowl-
edged while allowing other worthy yards to be recog-
nized. This system was modeled after the Prince
George’s County Beautification Awards Superior Sus-
tained Maintenance Program.
