Local Dedication Event Information and Deliverables

Information
As an award recipient, we must host a local mayoral dedication event. Local dedication events
will be held from March through June 2015. Representatives from The United States Conference
of Mayors and ScottsMiracle-Gro will be extensively involved with assisting in planning the
local dedication event and will be in attendance to re-present the award to the mayor. Key
components of the dedication event include:

Community involvement
Volunteer service
Educational activities for youth.

Deliverables

Our dedication event will include the installation and unveiling of a permanent sign at the
5th and C street location recognizing the site as part of the GRO1000 program.

The presence and involvement of youth groups during the mayoral dedication event is a
key component of the program. Past GRO1000 events have typically included a
minimum of 60 youth in the local dedication program.

One deserving youth will be recognized with the ScottsMiracle-Gro Give Back to Gro
Youth Gardener Award at the local dedication event.

Winning cities will provide two progress reports on the garden or green space on an
annual basis. The first report will be due in October 2015, the second in May 2016.
