I need your help today. I want to find new subscribers for Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com, the online gardening magazine for Western New York, so I’m holding a contest and offering great prizes for gardeners.
Please help me spread the word by emailing this information to a friend. Or share it on on Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter or your favorite social media. Or pick up the phone and call a relative. Or mention it to a coworker.
If you’ve been reading Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com for awhile, you’re my best ambassador. You can tell others about the helpful gardening tips, the entertaining stories, and the huge, up-to-date list of gardening events for Western New York that you find right here every week.
People can enter for the chance to win a prize package valued at more than $150 simply by subscribing to Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com. Don’t forget to mention that it’s free to subscribe!
And because I value my longtime readers, if you have already subscribed, you are already entered!
Three winners will be selected at random from our list of subscribers. The deadline to enter is Tuesday, April 1, 2014.
The prizes have been donated by our three Premium Partners: the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, Mischler’s Florist and Greenhouses and Lockwood’s Greenhouses.
If you are one of our three lucky winners, here’s what you’ll get:
- The book Great Garden Companions by local gardening expert Sally Cunningham. Her book will show you how planting special combinations of vegetables, flowers, and herbs can minimize pest and disease problems and create a high-yielding, beautiful garden. You’ll also receive a $30 gift certificate from Lockwood’s Greenhouses, 4484 Clark St., Hamburg.
- A lovely gift basket for the gardener, plus a $20 gift certificate from Mischler’s Florist and Greenhouses, 118 South Forest Rd., Williamsville.
- A family membership to the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. If you are already a Botanical Gardens member, your membership will be renewed.
Yes, each winner will receive all of those prizes: the gift basket, book, gift certificates and membership!
Please tell your gardening friends to subscribe today so they’ll be entered in this fabulous contest.
