Alexandria Beautification Commission Announces 2022 Alexandria Residential Award Recipients

For Immediate Release: June 24, 2022

The Alexandria Beautification Commission is pleased to announce the winners of the 2022 Alexandria Residential Award. Please visit the Alexandria Beautification Commission webpage to see the photos of the 9 award winners from across the city.

The Alexandria Beautification Commission solicited nominations from residents and Commission members who toured the City looking for candidates who exemplify the creative use of non-invasive plants, native plants, sustainable approaches, and landscape architecture within their gardens. Residents from across Alexandria's diverse neighborhoods consistently demonstrate how utilizing these gardening techniques deliver beauty, texture, and scale within a garden. This inspires others to enhance the beauty of their properties in an eco-friendly way and speaks to the future of Alexandria as an environmentally sound and dynamic community.  Commission members evaluated homes and residential communities based on criteria including:

  • Beautification of the City and neighborhoods through contextual landscaping 

  • Utilization of native plant materials

  • Inclusion of environmentally sustainable design practices and maintenance

“The individuals who received the 2022 Residential awards recognize they can make a difference within their neighborhoods. Using native plants, meadow areas, and drought tolerant garden approaches, their vision of delivering color, composition, dimension, and beauty is achievable. We applaud their outstanding accomplishments." said Steve Cohen, Beautification Commission Chair “Utilizing innovative garden methods can enhance curb appeal, attract local pollinators and save water, truly a win win" he said.

The Alexandria Beautification Commission represents citizens’ values in City beautification matters and coordinates projects to encourage and achieve a more beautiful, livable Alexandria. The Commission promotes projects encompassing landscaping, architecture, and sustainable environmental practices creating a healthier community, enjoyable lifestyle, and higher quality of life.
