Tell your friends that they have until midnight tonight, Tuesday, March 31, to enter to win a gardener’s prize package worth more than $200.

All they have to do to enter is to subscribe to Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com. And it’s free to subscribe!

Here’s how we will decide the winner.

After midnight, I will get a numbered list of all the subscribers.

I’ll use Random.org to generate a list of random numbers. The names that correspond with the first three numbers will be the winners. I’ll email the three lucky winners to notify them that they have won.

Each winner must respond to me by Monday, April 6 to let me know they have received the notification and are prepared to pick up their prizes.

If I don’t hear from a winner by the deadline, a new winner will be chosen. The new winner will be the fourth number on the list of random numbers.

I hope to hear from the winners promptly so I can announce them in our next issue of Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com. I have my fingers crossed for all of you!

If you are one of the three lucky winners, here’s what you’ll get:
