“David Suzuki Digs My Garden” Photo Contest

Sorry contest is now closed for entries.
Please join our contest again in Spring 2008!

Picking finalists wasn’t easy - especially when every entry deserved to win just by virtue of making their lawns and gardens pesticide-free. Visitors to our site voted for the best combination of eye-pleasing photos and inspirational story.

It was all so much fun that we are planning to run our next contest again next year. Get your spades ready the 2nd annual “David Suzuki Digs My Garden” Photo Contest next spring.

Grab your camera!

Send us the best snapshot of your pesticide-free garden or lawn, and the story of how you make your yard beautiful without chemicals.

Your photos and stories will be posted on our website. Our judges will choose finalists, then visitors to our site will vote for a winner.

Contest winners will receive a prize package that includes some exciting prizes--including a “David Suzuki Digs My Garden” T-Shirt and a gift certificate for heritage seeds from Saltspring Seeds.

Instructions:

Only one photo per category.

We want the back-story on your garden! Tell us a short story about:
        1. Why your garden or lawn is important to you
        2. Why you don’t  use pesticides
        3. How you keep your lawn or garden beautiful

Due to privacy concerns, photos with identifiable people can't be considered by our judges (so no faces, okay? ).
Pets, animals and insects are just fine.

Please keep your stories to 100 words or less (“Brevity is the soul of wit”—W.S.).

Gardens should be free of chemicals pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The definition of ‘pesticides’ includes insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, algaecides, and slimicides. Be aware that "Weed and Feed" products include chemical pesticides.

We want to find Canada’s best pesticide-free lawn and gardens!
