Announcing: Garden of the Month

Dear Readers,

SCN is pleased to launch the “Garden of the Month” feature/contest. If you have a favorite garden spot based on its beauty or uniqueness, send us one to five photos of it. Each month, July to March, the Stockbridge Area Garden Club will select a garden for SCN to feature. We will keep your garden photos to compete with the selected gardens through the contest’s completion in March 2019. Then, readers will vote for their favorite garden, and the winner will be announced in SCN’s April 2019 edition. The winner will receive a gift certificate for $25 from Tulip Tree Gardens.

To enter, email up to five photos attn: Gardens at [email protected]. Photos must be received by the 10thof each month. Include your name, physical address of the garden, and your phone number.

SAGC members who compete must recuse themselves from voting on the month’s featured garden. SCN board members may compete, though are not eligible to receive any prizes. A committee of local gardeners will select the featured garden. Those who submit photos will be asked for permission to print their name and location, or SCN will be happy to identify the featured garden as “in the local area.”

Voting to take place online or in person at one or more local businesses, yet to be determined.

 

Train garden at the home of garden club member, Judy Williams of Gregory.

Williams spent her winter designing the garden for her yard.

Judy’s husband, Bob, helped do the labor.

Williams put the rock piles on their Gregory farm to good use.
