American Garden Award extends the voting season

American Garden Award just announced that it has decided to extend voting through the end of September. Most of the 24 participating public gardens will keep all seven entries (produced from both seed and vegetative cuttings) on display until September 30. The gardening public can visit any of the participating gardens, choose their favorite and vote by texting a given code to a polling number or by using the postage-paid postcards located at most of the gardens.

For anyone unable to visit one of the American Garden Award Display Gardens, a quick visit to
www.americangardenaward.com will allow anyone to easily vote using the poll found there.
