Please help me congratulate the three lucky winners in our recent prize drawing held by Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com. They are:
- Elizabeth Girome of Angola
- Kathleen M. Bielec of Hamburg
- Shannon Feely of Buffalo
The names were drawn at random.
Everyone who was subscribed to Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com by March 22 was entered into the drawing. Even readers who subscribed years ago were included in the drawing. I love my loyal readers, too!
I want to thank all my new subscribers– and my longtime subscribers, too!
Each of the three winners receives a prize package worth nearly $500. The prizes are:

- A Big Yellow Bag containing a full cubic yard of great soil delivered to your home from Lakeside Sod, 6660 Goodrich Rd., Clarence Center.
- A gift basket full of items any gardener would love, plus a $20 gift certificate from Mischler’s Florist and Greenhouses, 118 South Forest Rd., Williamsville. (Items will vary.)
- A ceramic solar lantern (can be hanging or tabletop), three mini Bees & Honey notebooks and a $20 gift certificate from Urban Roots Cooperative Garden Market, 428 Rhode Island St., Buffalo.
- A soy candle made by Buffawix Candle Co., along with a $30 gift certificate from Lockwood’s Greenhouses, 4484 Clark St., Hamburg.
- 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 copy of the amazing book Buffalo-Style Gardens, signed by authors Sally Cunningham and Jim Charlier.
I also want to thank the great local businesspeople who provided the prizes for this drawing. What a stupendous prize package!
