Please help me congratulate the three lucky winners in our recent drawing held by Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com. They are:
- Narcy Ryan of Bemus Point
- Gail Naylor of the Town of Tonawanda
- Ann Santiago of Buffalo
The names were drawn at random.
Everyone who was subscribed to Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com by March 24– even those who signed up years ago– were entered into the drawing. I’m happy to have so many new subscribers, and I love my loyal readers, too!
Each of the winners receives a prize package worth more than $250 that includes all of these prizes:
- A low, eight-inch-diameter dish filled with succulents plus a $20 gift certificate from Mischler’s Florist and Greenhouses, 118 South Forest Rd., Williamsville.
- A $50 gift certificate toward a BigYellowBag or other product from Lakeside Sod, 6660 Goodrich Road, Clarence Center.
- A one-year family membership to the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. If you are already a Botanical Gardens member, your membership will be extended one year!
- A candle with a fresh-cut basil scent made by Thymes, along with a $30 gift certificate from Lockwood’s Greenhouses, 4484 Clark St., Hamburg.
- A copy of the 2019 book Buffalo-Style Gardens, signed by authors Sally Cunningham and Jim Charlier.
- A Cognitive tote and mini clutch, a Succulent notepad (recycled paper), a set of four pocket notebooks (recycled paper), a five-inch tropical plant of your choice and a $25 gift certificate from Urban Roots Cooperative Garden Market, 428 Rhode Island St., Buffalo.
I want to thank the great local businesspeople who provided the prizes for this drawing. What a stupendous prize package!
Finally, I want to thank all the people who subscribed recently as well as those who are longtime readers. I appreciate your support!
