If you haven't read through the Garden Inspiration stories, they were really fun to read, and we appreciate everyone sharing.

Who inspired you to begin gardening?
Has your family gardened for generations, or was it an experience you only had when visiting Grandma?
Did you move into a home with beautiful gardens and become inspired, or, just the opposite: a home with no gardens to speak of that desperately needed your help?
Maybe a book, or magazine, or school field trip as a child moved you to get started....
Click the word "comments" at the end of this paragraph and tell how your garden roots got started, and you could win a $25 Knollwood Gift Card, just in time for Mother's Day!
One random winner will be chosen after Thursday, May 7, 2009 to win a $25 Knollwood Gift Card.

(One entry per person, please. You must provide your email address in the box below to be entered, but don't worry, it will not be shown to the public....)

The contest is over, and we have a winner: Congratulations, Shannon! We have had so much fun reading everyone’s answers to our question, “What is your favorite new addition to your garden this year?” It’s clear that for many people there is a very emotional attachment to their gardens, and many others love to experiment and “chase the dream”.

We used a random number generator at Random.org to choose the winner, and it chose Number 17. Our 17th commenter on this post was Shannon, and we have emailed her with her prize certificate.

Thanks for playing, and we look forward to more contests in the future!
