MSHS SEEKS INSPIRING GARDENS AND GARDENERS
Gardens—whether they beautify a neighborhood or teach kids how to grow vegetables—it’s hard not to be inspired by the love and care that gardeners put into them. The Minnesota State Horticultural Society seeks nominations for such gardens and gardeners for their annual State Awards.
You can nominate gardeners who have made outstanding contributions to greening efforts in public gardens or community projects; individuals, projects and activities of neighborhood groups; garden clubs and organizations that have contributed to rejuvenating communities and have brightened our world through plants.
Capture the beauty of the gardens now with high resolution digital photos, as award winners will be featured in Northern Gardener magazine and on www.northerngardener.org, as well as at MSHS’ annual State Awards and Recognition Event.
For more information on specific awards and the nomination form, visit www.northerngardener.org, click on the Classes/Programs drop down box and select “Awards”. If you have questions about submitting a nomination, call 651-643-3601 / 1-800-676-6747 ext. 211.
Completed nomination forms and publication-worthy digital images must be received by Monday, November 2, 2009. The date of the State Awards and Recognition Event will be announced at a later date.
