Keep Greene Beautiful

Cherishing Our Home

Keep Greene Beautiful, a Keep America Beautiful affiliate, was formed in April of 1986 to improve the appearance of Greeneville and Greene County. The organization works to achieve its goal of a cleaner and more beautiful community through educating children and adults on the importance of litter control and solid-waste practices. Keep Greene Beautiful is dedicated to maintaining a continuing litter control program, to promoting public interest in maintenance of a clean and beautiful environment, and to instilling environmental and solid waste management ethics.

Yard of the Month Contest

Keep Greene Beautiful’s Yard of the Month program recognizes residents who take pride in creating beautiful, welcoming outdoor spaces that enhance our community.

Yard of the Month winners are selected based on curb appeal, creativity, maintenance, and overall contribution to community beautification. Winners are recognized monthly during the growing season and featured on Keep Greene Beautiful’s website and social media pages.

We believe beautiful landscapes inspire community pride, encourage environmental stewardship, and create neighborhoods where people enjoy living and visiting.

Do you know a yard that deserves recognition? Keep Greene Beautiful invites community members to nominate outstanding residential landscapes for our Yard of the Month program.

Whether it’s a colorful flower garden, a creative outdoor space, a pollinator-friendly habitat, or simply a well-maintained yard that brightens the neighborhood, we want to hear about it!

Nominations are open throughout the growing season. To submit a nomination, complete the YARD OF THE MONTH FORM.

Help us celebrate the residents who make Greene County more beautiful one yard at a time!
