Gardener's
Supply Invites Nominations for Garden Crusader Awards
Deadline: June 15th, 2009
The Garden Crusader Awards were
created by Gardener's Supply to honor individuals across the United
States who are improving their communities
through gardening. Awardees are enthusiastic men and women who are planting
trees and flowers, growing food, creating new green spaces, and teaching their
friends and neighbors about the rewards of gardening.
The award honors individuals who are improving their world

one person to represent the group. Award categories include Education,
Feeding the Hungry, Urban Renewal, and Restoration. There are five winners for
each category — first, second, and third, plus two honorable mentions and
one grand-prize winner, for a total of twenty-one winners overall. The
grand-prize winner will receive $2,500 in cash and a $2,500 gift certificate
from Gardener's Supply. First-place winners will receive a $1,000 gift
certificate, second-place winners will receive a $750 gift certificate,
third-place winners will receive a $500 gift certificate, and honorable
mentions will receive a $200 gift certificate. All prizes are awarded to the
