Our 2007 Photo Contest Winners
Our second annual Photo Contest was a huge success and a big
‘Thank You’ goes out to everyone who snapped a photo and sent it in. It’s always exciting for us to go through all the entries but our job is certainly not easy when it comes to choosing our finalists. After much deliberation, however, we’re very proud to announce the winners!
Each lucky gardener received a
$100 Botanus Gift Certificate!
which we’re sure they’re very eager to redeem!
Most Amazing Flower Portrait - Avrum Soudack
“I took this photo last May when we were visiting the tulip fields in La Conner, Washington. Just as an aside, my wife painted this tulip (Viridiflora Tulip ‘Artist) and it currently hangs in our hallway!”
Most Fabulous Flower/Plant Combination - Cathy Keller
“Every corner of our 2/3 acre lot garden deals with clay and prime ‘dirt’ is at a premium. Composting, leaf mulch and tightly spaced planting is required. This particular back corner, a mixture of colours and textures, stays great all season! ”
Most Creative Container - Deborah Steel Hobley
“This sunny mix of Botanus bulbs (Single Early Tulip ‘Princess Irene & Mixed Narcissi) provided a blast of welcome colour in front of our home, in the grey days of Spring 2007.”
Most Inviting Garden Space - Evelyn Shields
“This was not a planned photo but it turned out nice. I just go by guess and by golly when I plant
but it seems to work. I just get a
lot of pleasure from the garden and even
the
neighbours enjoy looking over the fence at it!”
Details about our upcoming 2008 Photo Contest will be posted on our web site in May … so get those lenses polished up and start planning your shots.
You could be our next
$100 Gift Certificate Winner!
