AMERICAN GARDEN AWARD

Diane Blazek


American Garden Award is unique in that it is the only opportunity (that we know of) for the nation to vote for their favorite flower. For 2013, we have four flower varieties and all four entries (aka "Contestants") are now planted in thirty-one display gardens across North America so voting is open from now until August 31, 2013.

This year there are four striking entries (pictured below). May the best garden performer win! Anyone can get in on the fun by voting for their favorite in one of three ways:

1) By visiting a participating garden (listed below) and text your vote using the special voting codes found on the signs in the garden.

2) Go to the American Garden Award website and click on your favorite flower.

3) Use the pre-paid postcard ballots found at the participating gardens.
