Voting has begun for the fifth annual American Garden Award. For 2013, the award the number of participating gardens has increased to thirty-one; that’s more gardens than ever before participating in American Garden Award.
This award is a unique opportunity for the public to vote on a specific flower that they think has the most appealing garden characteristics. Each of the four entries are listed below and are now planted in the participating gardens, ready to show off for the popularity voting, which began on June 1.
There are three ways to vote:
1) By texting a given code to a polling number
2) By going to www.americangardenaward.com and clicking on the flower of choice
3) By using postage-paid voting postcards located at the garden.
The four entries are:
Impatiens SunPatiens® Compact Electric Orange
Petunia Surfinia® Summer Double™ Pink
Verbena Lanai® Candy Cane
Zinnia Zahara™ Cherry
Voting is open until August 31 and winners will be announced in September.
