Nominate your favorite garden

June 1, 2010 at 9:53PM

Do you know of an amazing garden? Don't keep it to yourself, nominate it in our Beautiful Gardens contest.

Every year, the Home+ Garden section sponsors the contest as a way to discover some of the great private gardens in the Twin Cities. This is your chance to show off your favorites -- and maybe help a gardener gain a little well-deserved glory. The winning gardens and gardeners will be featured in a cover story in this section and online.

It's easy to nominate: Just send a letter briefly describing the garden and the people who tend it. Dig up some snapshots of the garden in its glory or take some fresh photos this spring. Please include the gardener's name, address and phone number, as well as your own. And if you have a great garden, don't be shy about nominating yourself.

The deadline for nominations is June 18. Mail nominations to: Beautiful Gardens Contest, Home+ Garden, Star Tribune, 425 Portland Av. S., Minneapolis, MN 55488. Electronic submissions can be sent to kim.palmer@startribune.com.
