Garden Contest?

What if the GreenHouse hosted a garden competition next fall soon after (early Sept?) we return to campus? We could ask for entries in the messenger, and then the judges (perhaps one GreenHouse member, one faculty, one community person) would visit each garden. We could have different categories - vegetable, flower, organic, overall, etc...  The winners could receive a cash prize OR we could have them over for dinner at the house.

p.s. I played in our garden with my little brothers today and it was delicious. i heartily recommend it.

hey Paul, I think that is a great idea. But how many people would be able to compete in it? It would probably just be community members, right? Not so many students have gardens on campus. I mean, I'm sure a few do, but mostly just faculty and families....

cool idea--what would the criteria be?

Paul said...

Yeah it'd be faculty/family event.

perhaps the criteria should be something along the lines of most productive for food prodcution, most beautiful, best water conservation techniques, coolest layout, best plants... ?????
what else?
